Plakat - Altenberg

With only 5 days of school left in the school year, we
are on the home straight, but it certainly doesn’t feel
like it within the school. Activities are continuing at
a frantic pace and students will be busy right up to
the end. As you read this I will hopefully be soaking
in the hot pools, up river from the Hurunui Hut in
the Lake Sumner area, after walking through the
Hope Kiwi Saddle from Windy Point, with a keen
group of year 10 students. We hope the weather of
the past week has left us behind and we can enjoy
some early summer sunshine. I hope all has gone
well for the students that headed away to Ashburton
to represent the school at the Canterbury Primary
Athletics Sports on Wednesday. We had a large
contingent of very able athletes and we should feel
confident of some strong results. Also this week we
see the Year 7 and 8 classes head to Adrenalin
Forest and Kowhai class away on their mystery trip
to celebrate the end of the year. Next week sees
Year 5-10 students go to Amuri for the annual end
of year sports exchange and on Tuesday we all head
to Hanmer for the bi-annual full school picnic.
On Wednesday we will all take a deep breath and
prepare for the full school prize giving on Thursday,
starting at 10.30am.
Last week we completed interviews for two
positions in the primary school. We are pleased to
announce that we have appointed Janet Tilson as the
teacher in Kowhai class. Melanie Marryatt will be
moving up into Kikorangi class and will remain with
the majority of the students she has taught this year.
With Denise leaving, Melanie has taken the
opportunity to teach a little higher in the school and
she will also take a leadership role in driving the
teaching and learning in our Exploring, upper
primary area of the school. Janet is an experienced
teacher and will be a great asset and we look forward
to what her experience can bring to build on and
support the strengths of others in the school. We
also welcome Jenny Jackson to the position of
teacher in Kakariki class for next year. She will step
into the huge boots being left behind with Maureen
McKenzie leaving. Maureen will be sadly missed
from within the school and we wish her and Michael
all the best next year as they move closer to family.
Jenny is relatively new to teaching but comes with a
wealth of experience, as an Outward Bound
instructor, and Kiwi Sport coach and coordinator in
the mid Canterbury region. We look forward to
having her on board and it will be an exciting and
busy time next year, pulling the new look team
together.
With the end of year prize giving quickly
approaching we will have an opportunity to farewell
staff leaving from the school and it is a great
opportunity for past students and parents to come
along and wish those leaving all the best as they
move onto their next adventures. It will be great to
see you all there. Prize giving will be concluded with
an afternoon tea and parents and community are
invited to stay behind for a short catch up before the
students all head away on their summer break.
Nāku noa, nā
