Term 3 Wiki Tuawaru/Week 8

Rāhina/Monday

Principal's wero of the week: Dealing with our Emotions  Following on from last week it is important to recognise and name our emotions. Accepting the emotions and using healthy coping strategies are important. Do you use helpful strategies?

A reminder to all students that we don't play tackling games during playtime because this can be very dangerous.  Staff, please keep a close eye on this.  

A new electronic sign at the front of school is going to be installed over the next few weeks. It is likely that the ground work will start this week, potentially today. Although it is interesting to see what is going on it is important to keep safe by watching from a safe distance, staying away from the fenced area and following our out of bounds rules. This will help keep us safe and the work faster.
