FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Kia ora Koutou,

Over the next two weeks I plan to feature many of our winter sports teams in the newsletter, as the winter sports season is coming to an end. I will start with a big shout out to all the coaches and managers of these teams. A huge thank you for all your time, effort and support with the children. Thank You!! I will list the teams we have and want to include a photo and some information around every team.

I will begin with:

Congratulations to the year 5&6 hockey team 1 who won the Inter-School competition in their grade on Friday. They played Stanmore Bay in the final, winning 3 – 2. The team of Alex Colborn, Lily & Selina Glasgow, Katie McLiver, Tahlia Moore, Stacia Pelser and Abby Wenzlick are coached, managed and motivated by Maree McLiver. Well done, you can be so proud of yourselves. This is the first time Wainui School has managed to secure this trophy.

Congratulations also to team 2 who came second in their competition. They lost by 1 goal in the final to Warkworth. The team of Bella Browne Hale, Kate Flinn, Kasidy McCallion, Ella Newman, Dillon Ranby, Phoebe Walker and Grace Wallace-Pram were coached on the day by Nikki Browne Hale who was filling in for Dee Robinson.

Congratulations Cole Davies – This week Cole Davies is competing in the New Zealand MX Junior team racing at the 2018 FIM World Junior Motocross Championship in Horsham, Australia – a huge achievement!! Good luck Cole.

LAST WEEK 

Strike Action (Teachers and Principal) – Thank you everyone for keeping the children at home on this day. At this stage there is no movement, further strike action or any further actual instruction as to what is next. Talks and negotiations continue this week. These are centering around

  1. The teacher shortage.
  2. More resources and staff to support children with additional learning needs.
  3. A pay jolt/ rise to salaries for teachers to address the teacher shortage.

THIS WEEK

Kaipara Schools Cross Country Competition – A team of year 7&8 students competed on Monday at Muriwai Beach in this event. Results included Thomas Steen winning the year 8 boys division, Grace Brothers gaining third place in the year 7 girls competition. Well done, I hear great races from you all.

 

Wainui intermediate information Evening – Wednesday 22nd August from 6.30pm – 7:30pm. Mr Irvine and myself will be at school to talk about the features of the programme we offer at Wainui School. Our school offers innovation, personalisation for children and something we believe is very unique in the Hibiscus Coast/ Kaipara area. The students leave ready for college confident, flexible, prepared digitally for the future. All are welcome.

Learning Conversations – If you have not held a Learning Conversation with your child’s teacher, please ensure that you make a time to meet together. There are very few in each class to catch up on.

Lost clothes, shoes – This week I have spotted a pair of red gumboots, about 10 T-shirts and loads of socks. Please claim these, we were getting good at looking after our clothes. Let’s try and do this again. Thank you.

FINALLY  

Wai Factor is up to the semi finals. This has become such a wonderful tradition at Wainui School and is totally run by the students. The variety of acts and the confidence we observe is wonderful to see. Thank you year 8’s Chloe, Caroline, Caleb, Bojan, Reilly and Sam R for organising this for everyone.

Ka kite ano,

Gillian Bray
