Newsletter Week 3 Term 4
Meeanee School 2nd November, 2022
MESSAGE FROM THE SWIVELLY CHAIR
On Monday the 5th of December we are going to hold a school concert evening. This will hopefully be a nice relaxed evening where our Meeanee families can come together. More detail to follow.
The behaviour at Meeanee School shows that students are using their school values. However outside of school there are other influences upon children. Social Media is causing problems for some of our students. People outside of our school can make comments and threats. We do not tolerate this at school, so please if you do let your child have a cellphone and access to one of the social media platforms check what messages/images are being sent and received.
Student cellphones are now banned from coming to school.
Be Kind, Stay Safe,
Damion
PB4L Weekly Goal
Our School Values are very important to us here at Meeanee School. We believe in showing Respect, Excellence, Empathy, and Perseverance. While our students are in school or sports uniform we encourage the display of these values.
Stars of the Week
Duffy Award
MVP's
Duffy Awards for Adults
On Friday we awarded two such books and certificates to Jane Dewar and Ricky Blunsdon. Jane, as a grandparent, is a massive supporter of school helping out whenever she can on school trips and ferrying child to sport. Ricky always puts his hand up to take sports teams for us and is currently away on camp with Papakura. He also runs trainings outside of school hours for our students.
We have such a supportive community so it's great to be able to acknowledge people. We had another lovely grandparent weeding our front garden on Friday after she spotted a need.
National Shake Out Day / Tsunami Hikoi
We had a fantastic drill for National Shake Out Day on Thursday. Each class completed their 'Drop, Cover, Hold' routine then lined up outside because it was a 'Long, Strong, Be Gone' earthquake.
Students quickly lined up at the front gate and we started walking towards our meeting point at Taradale Park.
We had plenty of adult support, and the students performed the drill extremely well.
