    Newsletter No. 2 19 February 2010
    From the Principal’s Desk
    Dear Parents and Caregiver
    Kia ora koutou

    All classes have started very well and looking back over the past month, it is amazing just what has been
    undertaken and achieved. Thank you for a delightful cohort of Year 7 & Year 8 students. There is a positive and
    happy feel to the school and that is exactly the way everyone wants it to be!

    BLEDISLOE PARK
    Does your son or daughter walk to school or walk home and cross through Bledisloe Park, and in particular the
    area closest to the High School, John St? If so, can you please talk with them about coming straight to school
    and going straight home. The area mentioned is receiving close scrutiny from the New Zealand Police because
    of issues with groups of older persons hanging around and the potential for drug dealing and other problems
    developing. I am not suggesting Intermediate students are mixed up in this, I am just asking you to have a talk
    with your son or daughter about the need to be safe wherever one is.

    BOARD OF TRUSTEES
    The next BOT meeting for the Intermediate School is Monday 22 February. This will be at 5 30pm in the school
    management centre. You are most welcome to attend. May 2010 is election time for Boards of Trustees across
    New Zealand. The Intermediate School would like to assist with sharing information about being a BOT
    member. Please contact myself, 238 6568, ext 801 if you would like to find out about the roles and
    responsibilities for being a Board member and the process for becoming one.

    UNIFORM – HATS AND SHOES


    It is school policy for students to wear a hat at interval, lunchtime and afternoon sport. Non hat wearers are
    asked to sit or in or remain in a shady place. We do sell hats at the student centre office.

    It is also school policy for students to wear approved footwear and for boys and girls this is any totally black
    shoe and / or roman type sandals. Students with incorrect footwear that is not explained by a parent note, are
    asked to go bare foot during the school day.

    CELL PHONES
    Students hand in cell phones, iPods and other digital devices by 8 40am and students collect them at hometime.
    If a student decides not to follow the school procedures, the item will be confiscated and a letter sent home
    asking a parent or caregiver to come into school and collect the item.

    UNSW EXAMINATIONS
    Once again our students are being offered the opportunity to sit the UNSW exams. Entry forms for the exams
    will be available from the Student Centre next week. Entry forms need to be completed and back at school with
    payment for all exams being sat, no later than Friday 26 March. (N.B no late entries will be accepted).
    Students will also be informed of this. (Please note, the University has increased the cost of the writing exam
    this year.) The sitting dates and costs for this year’s exams are:

    Computer Skills Tuesday 25 May $7.50


    Science Wednesday 9 June $7.50
    Spelling Tuesday 22 June $9.50
    Writing Tuesday 22 June $17.50
    English Tuesday 3 August $7.50
    Mathematics Tuesday 17 August $7.50
    QUEEN ST, EDINBURGH ST AND HARRIS ST
    Duty teachers tell me that Queen St and Edinburgh St are very congested at the end of the school day with a
    mixture of school traffic and non-school traffic at 2.45pm. If you pick your son or daughter up from Queen St
    or Edinburgh St please consider changing to Harris St (the Bledisloe Park side of school). There is considerable
    parking available on this street and in the opinion of the school, it is much safer.
