HAUTAPU SCHOOL PANUI

Hello Hautapu community, my name is Greta I am 11 years old. I am the Head House Leader and I am in Maungatautari House. I love to read and play football and my favourite food is pasta. I wanted to become Head House Leader because I enjoy public speaking, helping and encouraging others and I love Hautapu school.

I am Riley and the leader of Hautapu House. In my spare time I like to read and do art. I wanted to be a house leader so I could grow my confidence, run games and support my house during school events. I can help my house by listening to the ideas of other students and trying to make the school a great place to be.

Hi, my name is Tyla. I’m in year 8 and a Hautapu house leader.

I enjoy looking after my 9 chickens, my 11 sheep, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and my dog Roxy.

In my spare time I like to get ahead on work, bake and absolutely love putting mini hats on my guinea pigs.

A few fun facts about me are I’ve hand raised 4 sheep and 10 chicks, I do karate, I learnt the drums and piano and I am a hockey goalie.

Thank you for taking the time to read this 😊

Kia Ora Hautapu community, my name is Elena and I am one of the Karapiro House Leaders for 2024. I am 11 years old, turning 12 soon, and this year I am in Rata class. In my spare time I love to do some drawing or read a good book. I also really enjoy riding my two ponies whenever I have time! I wanted to become a house leader because I thought it would be a really cool learning opportunity and to challenge myself to improve my confidence in public speaking. I feel like I have already improved a lot, which is saying something as it is only week 2! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings if I’m having this much fun now!

We are all basking in the hot sunny weather at the moment which is a timely reminder that we need to be safe in the sun. During Term 1 and 4, at Hautapu School, we expect and support students to be Sun Smart and we appreciate your support with this. Our Health and Safety Policy states that we will ensure that:

• Children will wear hats or caps (wide brimmed hats are our recommendation) which protect the face, neck and ears

• Children will wear appropriate clothing (e.g. no bare shoulders)

• Sunblock will be applied before school (Parents are expected to apply SPF 30 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen for their children)

• All children will sit under the shaded areas or under the verandas or shade sails for lunch and morning tea

• Staff will act as role models by employing appropriate sun protective behaviour for summer outdoor activities.

• Students who do not have the appropriate hat/cap or clothing will be told to stay under the verandah by the hall during morning tea and lunch

• Sunblock will be available in classes for students to reapply themselves
