Looking Forward

Well, we’re three quarters of the way through the school year and time is slipping away very quickly. Term four promises to be yet another busy term with sporting and cultural as well as learning opportunities on offer for the students. It will also be a time of looking forward. Our Year 8 students will be thinking ahead to their move to high school while our Year 7 students can look forward to the opportunity of taking over the mantle of leadership for next year.
I strongly encourage our Year 7 students to have a think about the numerous opportunities for leadership that will be available to them; from head boy and girl, deputy head boy and girl, school council, house captains, PALs, peer mediators, sports team captains, Kapa Haka leaders, jump jam leaders.......the list goes on and on!! How will you contribute to the school next year? How can you step up to be a leader of yourself and others?
In term four, we will acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of our students at our Prize Giving ceremony for the end of the year. On offer are certificates, cups and shields aplenty. How have you made your mark this year? In what learning area have you achieved? These are questions that all our students need to think about. You can still make your mark so make it a positive one and then look forward and plan how you will continue to achieve next year.
Enjoy the break and see you in two weeks time!
