Message from the Principal
|
|
|
|
Welcome back to Term Two!
|
|
We have many exciting events coming up this term, including Matariki celebrations, Book Fair week and Art Week where we live, breathe and create art that is displayed in an amazing Art exhibition. Our students are working hard on their learning and it is great to see their focus.
|
Our support programmes for maths, reading and language support are well underway as well as extension maths and english programmes. Written Reports will go home at the end of this term highlighting the progress and achievement of your child. As you will be aware, the new maths curriculum has changed phases of learning. We will continue to provide opportunities to understand what the changes mean for you and your child. If you have any questions or areas you would like to discuss, please contact your child's teacher in the first instance.

Over the holiday period Miss Golding organised for a number of our students to be ball-kids for the FIFA under-15 Boys Oceania qualifiers. The students had a great time experiencing this role for an international football event and did a fabulous job representing MRI.

Next week some of our Year Seven Kapa Haka roopu will travel to Waitangi to visit the treaty grounds and significant cultural locations, making strong connections as a group as well as learning together.

As part of our schools Emergency Response Plan, last term we held our school lockdown and evacuation training. We work with an independent company, Harrison Tew, who are experts in this field and work with many schools preparing us to be best prepared for all situations. All of our students and staff did an amazing job with the training and follow up drill. Can you please ensure that your contact details are current and up to date. If your contact details have changed, it is important that we know. Please email office@mri.school.nz, call us on 09 620 8508, or use our school app function to update your contact details.
|
With the Autumn weather well and truly upon us, colds and flu are on the rise. If your child is unwell and won’t be coming to school, please let us know by contacting your child's teacher, the office or notify us through our school app.
|
Winter Sports are kicking off next week with the Netball, Basketball and Waterpolo seasons all starting. It is great to see so many of our students involved in these teams, showing great passion for their chosen sports. We are grateful to the wonderful parents who have made this possible with their involvement, managing and coaching.
|
Our Chess team is busy working towards a number of upcoming chess competitions that they will participate in.
|
MRI staff and students have been busy preparing for the upcoming winter Central Zone sporting competitions. Girls and Boys Futsal will be first up in their respective competitions and over the next couple of weeks, our teams will be representing the school at Central Zones Waterpolo, Rugby and Football. Thank you to the students for representing MRI so well and doing us proud.
|
|
Coming up on Friday 16th May is Pink Shirt Day where students are encouraged to wear pink to show we are committed to creating a kinder, more inclusive Aotearoa, where everyone feels safe, valued and respected. We all have a role to play in creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Pink shirt day is about supporting the National Pink Shirt movement of #pinkshirtdaynz raising awareness that together we can stand with those who have been affected by bullying and promote a culture of inclusivity, kindness and understanding. At MRI we believe that everyone should feel safe and valued. It is all of our responsibility to ensure this.

As we did in Term 1, this term each family will be receiving an email that details their child's attendance percentage and number of missed days. This is to help you keep on top of how much school (if any) has been missed. Thank you for your continued support in your child attending school as much as possible. Term 1 was our highest ‘Regular’ attendance in a number of years, 70% of our students attended school above 90% of the time.
|
Our Production of ‘Aladdin Jr’, is now underway with practices taking place weekly. Our cast have been finalised and they are now busy, learning and practising their lines. It is going to be another fabulous showcase of the talent we have here at MRI!
|
|
Shortly, students will make their selections for Art week activities, which takes place later this term. Please see the attached Art Exhibition promotional flyer and mark the date in your calendar to attend this fantastic event.
