A message from the Principal
Kia ora tātou,
I am very proud of all of our Year 6 students who went through the process of applying for house leader positions. We had 40 students apply, which is an overwhelming number of responses for 12 positions and shows how sought after this position is.
The process involved filling out an application form and an informal meeting with myself and Mrs Ward and Mrs Blanchard, followed by shortlisting. All those shortlisted had a few days to prepare a presentation on the topic: ‘If you are a house leader, what project will you continue or start- up in the school so that Pinehill School continues to be a great school?
We were very impressed with all presentation ideas and the exciting initiatives our house leaders have planned for the 2023 year. We are lucky to have students so dedicated to the school. Many thanks to parents for taking the time to support your children during this process.
A special congratulations to the students listed in the table below, who are our house leaders for the 2023 year. They were awarded their house badges during our assembly yesterday. Mr Riley and Mrs Johnston will continue to work closely with the leaders and mentor them as their initiatives are planned out and put into place, as well as broadening their leadership opportunities within the school.
Can you help the Year 5/6 Team?
Do you have any spare wool at home that you no longer need? The Year 5/6 team is on the hunt for balls of wool to use at camp for an art activity. They don't even need to be full balls - half or used balls are fine.
The other thing we are hunting for is some tent pegs. If you have any tent pegs at home that you no longer need (even if it's one!), we would be happy to use these out at camp for an activity we have planned.
Wool and pegs can be dropped into Room 7. House points will be given for all donations.
Thank you
The Year 5/6 Team
