Learner Led Conferences (LLC) is an opportunity for you to be led by your child to understand what they are learning, how they are going and what their next learning steps are. During the 60 minute conference, a Hub teacher will share a 10 minute progress update with you and your child. Some new ideas and experiences are being included to ensure it is a valuable learning experience for you and your child.

When: Thursday, 27th May 2021 | 2.00pm - 7.30pm

Staff Farewell

We are sad to share that Nicole Walsh will be returning home to the USA on Friday, 21st May to be close to family. We would like to sincerely acknowledge and thank Nicole for her service over the last two years to those she has taught, her colleagues and the Stonefields Community as a whole. Nicole will certainly be missed by everyone.

We have secured an excellent replacement for Nicole. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce and welcome Jennifer Noone. Jennifer originally trained in New Zealand and is currently teaching in the UK and is excited to be returning to New Zealand.

New Staff Appointments
We wish to congratulate and welcome Sarah Furst-Jaeger as the new Administration Leader. Sarah leads the team of:

• Receptionist/Learner Services - Sue Curlett

• Finance - Amy Tran

We welcome Sarah Ketley to the administration team, Sarah will oversee all school resources as well as support front of house in the school office.

We would also like to welcome Rachel Rambisheswar (Student Support Administration) and Emma Lockington (Teacher Aide) to our growing Student Support Team.

The suburb of Stonefields operates a naked streets policy. This means that there are limited signs and road markings indicating the parking restrictions etc. We ask everyone to please put the safety of all learners first and where possible park further away from the school and walk in to drop off or collect your children.

Please show consideration when parking vehicles at pick up and drop off times. Traffic must be allowed to flow freely (yet cautiously) through the streets. Please be mindful of the signs on both Guyon Street and Vialou Lane as there are no parking zones at peak times of the school day to help ease the flow.

The School has adopted a policy of travelling anti clockwise around the school to help alleviate congestion. We ask for your support with this.

All parents / caregivers and visitors to the school are not to use or park in the private driveways and lanes of our neighbours properties at any time.

The school car park is for staff only and is not able to accommodate parent parking. Cars coming and going through the car park are a danger to children who may walk through here to gain access to the school.

Please ensure that anyone dropping off or picking up your child is aware of the parking concerns relating to this area.

As you will have seen the project to completely fence the school is still underway and at the moment we have a temporary solution down the Guyon Street side of our site. After a few delays this work is planned to recommence in the next couple of weeks.

In his presentation, Nathan provides an informative narrative on how our day-to-day interactions with children and young people, significantly the early years, plays a critical role in defining later outcomes for our children. In this talk, Nathan will guide you through the stages of brain development from the first 1000 days and into adulthood. He will reveal little tricks that will hopefully make parenting easier, and help you open up communication with your child. You will walk away with a much better understanding of how both your child’s brain and your own brain works.
