Kia ora Parents, Caregivers and whanau,
Welcome back for term three. Throughout the Alert Levels there has been a lot of interest in school attendance. This is because we know going to school every day plays an important role in a student’s wellbeing.

All students should now be regularly attending school. We are working with the Ministry of Education and other partners to understand some of the variety of reasons why students do not attend school regularly. We will work together with others to look at how we can address the factors contributing to non-attendance. Everyone has a role to play to ensure students attend school every day.

Historically term 3 is a very busy time for us here at school and this is no different. Some of our senior students engaged in a holiday course before our term started. Te Hirau, Tangiariki, Te Ariki, Jorja, Darien, Shavante, Caleb, Anahera and Ursula attended courses in Rotorua or on Kapiti Island as part of their Tourism Career pathway. Te Ariki also spent a week at Devonport Naval base for the defence careers experience where she was the top student. Well done to you all.

Last week if you were around school you would have noticed Harold the Life ED truck. The health and safety messages given to our Years 1 – 6 students are an important part of our health curriculum.

This week three service students are attending a Basic Leadership Course at Trentham. Three other students went for a ride so that they could see a military base and perhaps be inspired to follow this pathway. Thank you George for taking these students.

We also hosted a powhiri to welcome all new whanau to our school since our last powhiri, as well as outside agencies who are working alongside our staff in the next few weeks. It was also our pleasure to welcome at our Kapa Haka Tutors for this year. Tupoutama and Te Uira Paki and Christina King as a RTLB (resource teacher of learning and behaviour).

Tongariro School is fortunate to have been donated some honey from Wallace Steel at Smokin Joes honey. He has asked our students to design a label for the honey that best represents our school. Once the labels are made, each student will receive one jar of honey.
