Kia ora whānau,
Kia ora whānau,
As we head towards the end of Term 2, Stonefields School is still abuzz with wonderful learning, collaboration and smiling faces.
You will have seen that the admin and staff hub refurb is in full swing and Hub Koru has settled beautifully into their new space in the hall. Thank you to those that helped with the move last Friday, it was a hugely successful day. A reminder that the school office has moved into the "old Hub Koru" (now known as Akomanga Aroha) located opposite Hub 4.
Last night at the Board meeting, our Board of Trustees had the privilege of hearing from some of our learners, teachers and parents across various year levels about their distance learning experience. It was wonderful to gather voice on what worked well, what some of the challenges were and what they would like us to hang onto moving forward. Your voice will continue to inform our next steps to ensure the opportunities that emerged out of distance learning are realised. Thank you to those who joined us.

When: Thursday, 6th August 2020
Time: 2.00pm - 7.30pm
For the rest of this term we are working towards creating and showcasing your children’s ‘own stories’. These will be exhibited in an event called Making History - Share our Stories.
The purpose of this event is:
- For learners to celebrate and share their unique stories and other significant learning with their parents
- For teachers to verbally update parents on progress and achievement. SchoolTalk progressions shared and next steps and priorities discussed.
- Host a school-wide exhibit - Making History - Share our stories
This event will run similarly to a Learner Led Conference format so parents have the opportunity to meet 1:1 with parents.
More about this closer to the time.

Our PE programme will be taking place outside for the rest of this term and next term. We recommend that learners wear trainers on PE days for their comfort and safety. As the weather is turning colder and wetter, we suggest that learners bring a change of socks with their school shoes for after PE and make sure they have their fleece / a rain jacket with them.
