Dear Parents, Caregiver and Children,

It feels bizarre to already be saying we are nearly at the end of Term 2.

Over the last couple of weeks it has been a real joy seeing the winter sporting codes slowly start back up and our children hit the fields or courts with an eagerness and willingness to give their best. 

This week our children have been applying their learning and getting themselves ready for the very important Student Led Conferences next week. It is always an exciting time for them to be able to share and celebrate their goals, learning's and achievements with you. Please do take the time to book via www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and use the code e2jfa. 

On Monday I spoke to the children about being brave and the feeling of anxiety or nervousness. Often events like Cross Country or one-off learning challenges like ICAS can trigger these feelings. I shared this quote with them below and reminded them that often when you feel like this it is because you are about to do something brave. Being brave is showing courage and courage is an attribute that we want to develop and strengthen in all of us.

With this being our last newsletter for the Term. I would like to once again say thank you for this term and the support offered. We look forward to our school dates, events and learning experiences continuing in a more regular vein next term.

Warm Regards

Geoff
