Kia Ora Whanau and welcome to Week 2!

After a cracker of a week last week, let us hope that our fine (although not as hot) weather continues for our camp this week!

Here is what is happening this week…

CAMP -
We will continue to prepare all students for our Camp at Hibburt Park this week. By now your child should know their tent group, and their food groups. We appreciate your support in helping them get ready for this experience. It is VITAL that all children bring the ingredients/equipment that they have told their group, they will bring.


Remember - a letter came home last Friday to outline all you need to know, however if you have a question, please ask!

LEADERSHIP/EMERGING LEADERS -
On our return from camp, we will launch into our Year 8 LEADERSHIP Module, in addition to our Year 7 EMERGING LEADERS Module.
We have activities planned that will join the Year 7 and 8’s together for part of this week also.

REMEMBER - Year 8 Leadership speeches AND Year 8 Camp Wellington Fundraiser Information - FRIDAY 16th FEBRUARY at 3:30pm.

INQUIRY LAUNCH DAY - 
Our school wide Inquiry Launch Day is on Wednesday 14th February. More details to come.
READING -
Please remind your children to pack the NOVEL that are reading in their bag each day, as DEAR (drop everything and read) is a firm fixture in our programme. We ask HARD questions of children if we sense this time is being wasted!

SWIMMING -
Just a reminder that swimming is an important part of our Health and PE programme. We have the Clarkville Swimming Sports coming up this term, and all children will be expected to enter in events for this.

STUDENT LEARNING BLOG -
This blog is for Aspire students to access learning while not at school. Therefore all links on this blog are limited to email addresses from Clarkville School only. We will TRY to ensure all links on the parent blog remain open… although sometimes we might slip up!

BUDDY GROUP LEADERS -
Our Year 8’s and some Year 7’s will have the opportunity to lead their buddy groups on Launch Day. It is a big responsibility for some of these students, and we look forward to seeing how their leadership skills grow this year!

EMAILING -
Just a friendly reminder, when emailing one of us, please remember to add both of our email addresses so we both receive the email. It makes life a heap easier for us in addition to communication being very clear for all of us!

Up and coming weeks - for your information…
Week 3 - Assembly at 9:10am (Hopara Sharing)
Week 4 - Sausage Sizzle (Friday)

Have a great week everyone!


Kristie and Vik.
