Student leaders Rory Vaeluaga and Angus McIntyre, both of Room 9 share update us on what's happening for students at Casebrook

This year’s whole school production is shaping up to be a step up from last year’s splendid ‘Panic Before The Disco’. I am very impressed with how class performances are tracking and the incredibly dedicated cast who are putting in the hours of work to ensure quality performances in week ten of this term. Please join us for an exploration of modern music since the 1960s told through a university setting with a twist. This performance will be loud, bright and entertaining. I am sure you will agree with me that the standard our year seven and eight students reach is phenomenal.  

Fantastic effort to the teams that represented Casebrook Intermediate at 2015 Extra! Current Events Competition.  

Your feedback would be much appreciated and would help future planning of the Inquiry Programme at Casebrook Intermediate.  

A select group of students from four classrooms at Casebrook celebrated their finished work in the Casebrook Writers programme this week.

Congratulations to our students who achieved their badges for earning 20 REP cards in one of our three expectations of RESPECT, EXCELLENCE and PERSEVERANCE. 

Squats, star jumps, slides and smiles!

On Saturday 29th of August our band “K-lib” headed to Kaiapoi High school to compete in Band Quest - an event where bands from all over Canterbury go to compete. 

On Sunday the 30th of August, our school Korean Dance group performed on WhatNow. 

Results from the Boys Basketball competition at the recent Indoor Tournament.

The South Island Intermediate Badminton 2015 took place on 24th August. This is the day, I experienced the second tournament of my life, and let me tell you - it was quite a challenge! 

Casebrook’s A and B Volleyball teams recently competed in the South Island Indoor Volleyball Tournament  

Hot cakes with butter and maple syrup, crispy chicken burgers and butter chicken with rice are all new on the canteen menu this term. Give them a try.

Last weekend Cameron Bourke and Katherine Rutter represented Casebrook at the Primary and Intermediate Ski races at Mount Cheeseman. Cameron had a great first run, but unfortunately lost grip on his second run and couldn’t make one of the gates. Katherine had two good runs and ended up 9th in her class. It was a fabulous day, well organised, fantastic weather and a lot of fun for all of the children there.

Term 3 and the Casebrook PTA are busy with preparations for the upcoming school production. We will be selling snacks, drinks and raffle tickets outside the hall on production nights so please remember to bring your spare change. The students have a mufti day on Friday September 11th and we will be asking for a donation of a grocery item for our raffle prizes.

In week 5 Room 2 competed in the MMMR Olympics (Mean, Mode, Median, Range). Students competed in five different activities including laps, ball throw, sit ups, hula hoops and step ups in teams. Students then collected data and found the mean, mode, median and range for their teams. Casebrook has some contestants for Rio 2016!  

Thank you to the companies listed below that have donated prizes for our Christmas raffle. We really appreciate the support we receive from our community. If you know of a business that would like to donate a prize please get in touch with the school office. Details of how you can purchase tickets and be in to win some awesome prizes will be coming up in term four.

You are very welcome to visit the school at any time and if you have a question please email (office@casebrook.school.nz) or telephone (3597428).
