4 days, Friday 11th to Thursday 17 November (Tuesday 15 is remote learning)

Two 2 hour exams each day in the morning and afternoon: Period 3 is normal timetabled class.

Your timetable will show the room changes, teachers have the room changes and they will be in the Daily Bulletin each day.

What?
Our purpose is to drive positive, societal, attitudinal change in the way kiwis, think, act and feel about mental health and build a more hopeful future for our kids.

Why?
40% of kids will have a major crisis often associated with some type of suicidal thinking before they leave school. 80% of those kids never ask for help because they are worried about what society will think, say, or do. Until societal attitudes change the problem will remain the same.

How?
I Am Hope visits schools up and down the country normalising overthinking. Despite being a daily challenge for everyone, overthinking is one of the most isolating experience that a young person can have and no one is talking about it. I Am Hope’s ambassadors reduce the barriers to this kōrero by sharing their own vulnerable stories of hope and showing young people that the inner critic is both normal and manageable.

What can you do?
Throughout the year our I Am Hope ambassadors will visit over a hundred schools and communities up and down NZ delivering our message of hope. The I Am Hope tours are an unfunded service delivered at no cost to schools and communities and all costs are met by our charity. We need your donations to keep up with the growing demand. The I Am Hope school programme is an investment in our children’s future. Together we can build a better informed and more resilient generation of young people and arming them with tools to pass on to future generations.

It's now Term 4 which means summer holidays are just around the corner! Children and teens who don’t read much over the long summer holidays can lose gains they've made in their reading levels and fluency over the year. This is true for all children, but especially for children who are already struggling readers. Children who keep reading over the summer holidays can avoid the 'summer slide' and may even make reading gains for the start of the next school year.

We are pleased to say that we are offering our Summer Reading programme again this year. Students can borrow up to 10 books from the library for the summer holidays. They will also have full access to our huge selection of eBooks and Audiobooks online.

If you or your child are interested, please collect a permission slip from the library. It is important to note that summer reading is about reading for pleasure and not studying. Your child may choose books that are easy to read or that they have read before, please encourage them regardless of their book choice.
