NOTICES:

TECHNOLOGY CLASSES

Technology classes are held on Tuesdays at Mangakotukutuku College (Mountview Campus), which is compulsory to attend. Students require covered shoes because of the nature of the equipment they may be around or using. A bus transports the students at 9:15am and when classes are complete the bus returns by 11:30am. There is no moving about, eating or drinking allowed on the bus for obvious reasons. 

ATHLETICS

Friday the 15th of March is the Christian Schools Athletics Day event. This is held at Porritt Stadium. 

SWIMMING

Term 2. Year 7-8 students will have swimming lessons at the Gallagher’s Pools. Students are required to bring a named bag containing their swimming clothes and a towel. The Senior School will be walking down to take part in this each afternoon of that week.

TBA. 

LIBRARY

Students attend the Library each Friday after morning tea. The expectation is that they must take out two suitable books each time. If a student hasn’t finished a book, it may be re-issued. A book bag is required to take out a book, as it protects books from spillages in bags.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Students are required to have full PE gear every day, so having two interchangeable kits is best practice. This includes shorts and a shirt. Sports shoes are advised for athletics, but not required. Usually we have PE on Monday and Thursday, but during Term One and Three we often have PE on most afternoons. Occasionally we have PE on Tuesday, and also on Friday when there is no assembly.


HOMEWORK


Homework

If you are here because of a lost homework sheet, no worries, you've come to the right place!

A major part of my job is to prepare your child for High School. The routine of Homework is a big part of the programme in Room 1. It is intentionally designed to support major learning throughout the year, which helps to develop good study habits needed for success. Full encouragement and support is valuable in this process. It is intended that it is done every school afternoon…which is greatly appreciated! As the parent, you are not expected to help teach the concepts…but rather to help to check with memorising or retelling facts such as scripture or spellings is also invaluable for your child’s best chance of success. Thank you for your support!

1) Reading is a big part of homework, as is scripture and spelling. Just read a book...preferably a chapter book is best for Year 7 & 8.

2) Scripture Memorisation and Spelling sheets are all here. I'm sure it will be easy to recall which level is being done. If not, something is better than nothing.

3) Any completed homework can simply be recorded into the homework book, with a parent signature next to the listed books that have been read that week. 

4) Reading Review - I'll accept a review that includes the author's name, title, summary, favourite sentence/phrase with a reason and a justified recommendation (e.g. the story was hilarious because the knight kept losing his horse and making mistakes). 

5) Only topic and Mathematics questions aren't available. But these can be picked up on Monday, and completed over the next two school nights.
