Tuesday Times

Kia ora koutou,

New Students

This week we welcome Yvanri and Kale to HNP. Well done on making such a positive start to school kids.

Learning Conferences

Unfortunately this year, due to the red setting and the fact that we are nearing the height of the pandemic, learning conferences will be online. These will take place next Wednesday and Thursday and you can book your 10 minute timeslot on https://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz/

The booking code is st5tf

We are just finalising the online codes and these bookings will be open on Wednesday afternoon.

Mr Stygall is currently away on paternity leave so his conferences will be in week 8, along with Mrs Te Whaiti, Mrs Allen and Mrs Baker. A separate booking schedule will come out for these four teachers next week.

Teacher Only Day

A reminder that Friday 18th March is a Teacher Only day. All Kahui Schools will be working virtually together on this day looking three work streams; cultural capability, structured literacy and trauma informed practice.

Covid 19

We currently have three staff away either isolating or with Covid 19. Hopefully in the next week or so we will be seeing a the peak. Covid is certainly bubbling away in the community and it will be great to see the back of this current outbreak and get a bit of normality into the school setting again.

If your child is well they can still continue to come to school.

What you need to do:

• You and your whānau should watch for symptoms. Please keep symptomatic children at home

• If any develop, get tested immediately

• Then, stay at home until you receive the result

What we’re doing

• School will stay open

• We have appropriate public health measures and cleaning procedures in place

Symptoms of COVID-19

• A new or worsening cough

• Sneezing and runny nose

• A fever

• Temporary loss of smell or altered sense of taste

• Sore throat

• Shortness of breath

Less common symptoms include diarrhoea, headache, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, malaise, chest pain, abdominal pain, joint pain, or confusion/irritability.

Have a great week everyone and thank you for your support.

Congratulations to the students below who are Principal Award winners this week. Thank you for consistently showing our school values and making such a great start to the school year.

Congratulations to the students below who have been awarded our values medals this week. Thank you for your hard work and positive role modelling.

Manakitanga is a guiding principle of Enviroschools.

Manakitanga means to extend aroha (love and compassion) to others. It is found in acts such as helping a loved one, encouraging one another or even supporting a complete stranger. Manaakitanga is an important value as it secures strength of whānau and community.

The Manakitanga shown from our school community in supporting the Garden to Table, Year 3 and 4 Discovery project has been overwhelming.

• 8 Fruit bins generously donated by Annette and transported by Steve.

• Mr Gray cut, positioned and crafted the garden beds and surrounding area

• The O’Sullivan family donated and transported soil.

• The Webster family are donating limestone for the surrounding pathway.

• Pete is transporting the limestone for us.

• Bunnings - sponsored our initial garden supplies.

• We received a very generous anonymous donation from an HNP family

• Home and School support.

The children are so excited about filling the garden beds with soil tomorrow.

Thank you to our wonderful community for making this project possible. Our children are certainly the winners!

Please contact Kerin on admin@hnps.school.nz if you are having trouble with the app.

A HUGE thank you to those that have volunteered their time to coach and/or manage. It is much appreciated and our team sport couldn't happen without people like you.

NOTE: All coaches, managers and parent volunteers need to have up to date vaccinations. Proof of this needs to be emailed to pjackson@hnps.school.nz or presented to the school office. Many thanks to those of you who have already done so:)

If you have any queries, sports news or photos please email Erica Cranswick at sport@hnps.school.nz

There will be a bunch of STAC awards in each Sports Teams gear bag (these will be distributed next week). The coach and/or manager gets to choose one or two awardees for each game. They then email the players names to me and their names are published in the Tuesday Times, AND they go into the draw to win a Kmart voucher at the end of the term!
