Information for Staff

1. A big thank you to everyone involved in getting the Curriculum project off the ground. This is a big change for us as a school and helps us embrace the front end of the curriculum document. Next week will rely on everyone to give it a go and try something different. Liz and her team have put in many hours behind the scenes to see make this week a success. It will be great to see what the students produce on Wednesday 6 December at their Celebration of Learning afternoon.

2. Prizegiving: The information that went out in the newsletter to parents - 

PRIZEGIVING 2017 We are very excited to be hosting our 140th prizegiving in the Great Hall at Boys’ High on Friday December 8th at 6pm. As this is a smaller (and considerably less expensive) venue than the Horncastle Arena, it does mean that seating is at a premium. All of Year 13 will be attending as this is their graduating year and their parents/caregivers have been invited. All other prize winners from Years 9-12 will be notified shortly and invites sent to their parents/caregivers. Additional invites will be sent to the parents/caregivers of the girls in the orchestra, concert band, choir and the parents of next year’s prefects (once they have been decided). Requests for additional tickets can be made through the RSVP option in the invitation.

3. Kawe Korero App

If you are wanting to gain further understanding of Māori language and contexts, please check out the Kawe Korero app, which helps with information about te ao Māori, pronunciation, and understanding tikanga (protocol) in business, education and personal contexts. It includes information about greetings, introductions, speeches, meeting protocol, and many other elements of tikanga. It is available on the app store from both Google and Apple.  Developed by the Waikato District Council, this fantastic app is promoted and explained in this Youtube clip: Kawe Korero
