Term Two dates
Neil Harray — April 11, 2024
Term Two is looking like another busy term for us. While we try and give as much notice as possible events we also try and respond to what is happening as well.
Parent and teacher conferences
Based on feedback from last years parent and teacher conferences, we would like to hold these evenings again, earlier than last year. Most students will have settled into good work patterns now with any concerns already discussed with you. These meetings are an opportunity for parents to meet with teachers, perhaps for the first time. Engagement data should have provided an indication on how things are progressing for your child/ren. This is a time to learn about what the students are learning, when assessments are due and what they can do outside of class time to make better than expected progress.
Wednesday 8 May - Year 11-13, 3:30-6:30pm
Thursday 16 May - Year 9 and 10, 3:30-6:30pm
Public Holiday
On Friday 28 June is the Matariki Public Holiday.
Teacher Only Days
The Ministry of Education has set aside two teacher only days to be taken between 27 May - 7 June 2024. We have yet to decide how best to use these days. We will let you know as soon as possible.
