Winter Sport
With the Winter Sports season in full swing, I feel it’s timely to emphasise a few points from my Winter Sports blurb back in Week 1 of this term:
Key points:
To all participants, I encourage you to ‘Strive to Succeed’ and be the best that you can be ‘on and off’ the field/court. Respect and support of the opposition is vital, because without an opposition you don’t have anyone to play against.
Please remember that Coaches, Managers and Umpires are giving up their valuable time to ensure you get to play the game you love. A simple thank you to these amazing people goes a long way.
Remember it is vitally important to communicate with your Coach/Manager if you cannot make a practice or the game on Saturday. Remember if you are late to games and/or not attending training and have not communicated this with your Coach/ Manager, you are letting your team down and are not being a good team player.
We continue to rely on all parents, spectators and supporters to respect players and the game officials and set the ultimate example to the children. Remember this is your children’s game not yours.
Cycle Safety
I have observed over the last two weeks a handful of students riding to school without helmets/ and/ or having their helmets on their handlebars and not wearing them. A reminder to all parents and caregivers that students cycling to school are required to wear helmets to and from Stanley Avenue School. Helmets are then to be taken off once students are inside the school grounds. For students safety it is really important to ensure helmets fit correctly and are in suitable condition. Thank you for your support and cooperation with this matter.

Today at Assembly, the Stanley Avenue School Leaders, Waka Captains and P.E. Leaders shared about last week's experience at the National Young Leaders Day in Hamilton. Fun, inspiration and learning was shared by all who attended.
The speakers were:
Brooke Neal - New Zealand Hockey Olympian and Gold medal winner at the Commonwealth Games. She shared on shifting a negative mindset and being your own positive coach - even when the pressure strikes.
William Pike - He shared about losing his leg in the Mt Ruapehu eruption and how he worked through difficulty and still found a way to follow his dreams despite a difficult life change.
Te Kahukura Boynton - Te Kahukura Boynton is a 20-year-old entrepreneur from Ngati Kahungunu, Ngai Tuhoe and Te Whakatohea. She is most well-known for her business Māori Millionaire which was founded in 2022, when she was just 18 years old. She shared about financial literacy and empowering people in their dreams.
Nate Wilbourne - Nate Wilbourne is a 16 years old Conservation and Climate Justice advocate, and founder of ‘Gen-Z Aotearoa,’ a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering and educating rangatahi (young people) through digital platforms. He shared about how he started with a small dream and how it grew through hard work and taking action.
Klaksy - Is an artist who has made world-wide fame through social media, hard work and determination. He shared his journey of putting his art out to the world and not giving up, even when facing rejection.
Yahyah (musician) - YAHYAH is a singer and songwriter. She shared her journey on becoming a music artist and did a performance at the end of the conference which was incredible.
We have gone live on DirectGroup Uniforms with our Sports Shirts that you are able to purchase. We feel moving forward this is a great option and will save a lot of time issuing and collecting sports shirts. At this time we still have our other sports shirts for anyone that is playing and has not purchased their own yet. Check them out at:
https://dgstore.co.nz/collections/stanley-avenue-school
You can purchase the sport shirts and they arrive directly to your address and they even have Afterpay so that it makes it possible to budget. We are looking forward to seeing these appearing on our sports fields.
