Term 2, Week 4: Rāhina ǀ Monday 20 - Rātapu ǀ Sunday 26 Haratua ǀ May

Below is some basic 'toubleshooting' information to help with access to the PNBHS Network and relevant applications for students.

Tuesday, May 10

As young men finish each book during the year, they should talk to their English teacher or one of the librarians to have it recorded. Books you have already read can be added to your reading total retrospectively.

We asked some of our Year 9 classes to tell us what advice they would give to young men as they begin their journey with Palmerston North Boys' High School. Below is a summary of this advice.

"Adolescents entering the adult world in the 21st century will need to read and write more than at any other time in human history. They will need advanced levels of literacy to perform their jobs, run their households, act as citizens, and conduct their personal lives. They will need literacy to cope with the flood of information they will find everywhere they turn. They will need literacy to feed their imaginations, so they can create the world of the future. In a complex, and sometimes dangerous world, the ability to read can be crucial." — International Reading Association, (Moore et al, 1999, p. 3 as cited by Clark & Rumbold, 2006).

Applications close February 10.
