It has been amazing to be part of the official launch of the E Tū Tāngata Music Video last week. To see our amazing tamariki showcased is incredibly humbling and reinforces our pride to be involved in the E T`ū Tāngata movement.

The NZEI Union is currently negotiating with the government about resourcing, pay and conditions for teachers and principals. As a result of these negotiations the teachers and principals have made the decision to Strike on Thursday 16th March.

Our Pōhutukawa Tamariki had an awesome afternoon on Friday 3rd March at the Top Team Challenge. Our tamariki worked in teams to master challenges. It was a great exercise in team building. Thank you to our Kaiako for facilitating this awesome experience and thank you to our parent volunteers for helping out on the stations!

This wonderful bunch of year 8 students completed their Peer Mediator training, held at West Rolleston School last week.

Last Friday, we went to our first whole kura celebration assembly. It was wonderful to see our whole kura together celebrating the successes of each other and showing our school values (be kind, be respectful, be connected, be resilient, and be responsible) as well as our E Tū Tāngata mindset of 'I have value', 'Others Matter' and 'We succeed together'.

We are beyond proud to feature our tamariki in the E Tū Tāngata Music Video. Check it out (if you haven't already!!!!!).

Once again Te Ahi Kaikōmako Rolleston School will be supporting the Colour Your Day Appeal on Friday 22nd March. Brighten up your day and those around you on Friday 22nd March by wearing colour, bringing along a gold coin donation, and supporting a project that is close to our hearts, E Tū Tāngata.

Absolutely wonderful to see our Garden from our Garden to Table programme celebrated in this years 'Green Fingers Galore' awards. Our resident gardener, Nicky O'Sullivan, has spent many hours in the garden with our students teaching them the importance of nurturing seeds so that they can grow into something splendid that we can eat! Congratulations Nicky and our tamariki, it is great to see your efforts recognised.

Te Ahi Kaikōmako Rolleston School uses SchoolDocs to maintain a comprehensive, up-to-date set of policies and procedures. These policies and procedures follow guidelines and legislation and best practice and have been tailored for our school.

We continue to take the Health & Safety of our tamariki very seriously. This includes our desire that all our students are safe when traveling to and from school. We all need to continue to remain vigilant especially when picking up and dropping off using a vehicle. Here are some important reminders.

The Ministry of Education is providing schools with an additional Teacher Only Day in 2023 to continue to work on the revised NZ Curriculum. The Board of Trustees would like to advise that Te Ahi Kaikōmako Rolleston School will be closed for instruction on THURSDAY 16th NOVEMBER.
