Welcome to Miss Griffin in Room 11
We are delighted to announce to our School Community that Miss Courtney Griffin has won the Maternity Leave position in Room 11. We anticipate that Courtney will start at the beginning of Week 7 this term, however she will spend a few days in Room 11 during Week 6 as part of our transition plan. Courtney lives in Morrinsville and already has a number of links to Stanley Ave. She impressed on her final practicum last year at SAS, working in Room 4 with Sally Oldfield. Additionally, Courtney's Mum, Jo, also taught at Stanley Ave, her last year was in 2012. Courtney also has a prior degree in Occupational Therapy.
Playground closed at home time
Due to the congested nature of our car park at present, we ask that students do not play on the playground after school. If students are waiting to be picked up they need to wait at the front entrance. We thank you for your support and co-operation with this matter.

Pink Shirt Day is about working together to stop bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusiveness.
It’s about creating a community where all people feel safe, valued and respected, regardless of age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, or cultural background.
We encouraged our students and staff to wear pink today and to learn what this message means as they go about their day-to-day lives. The students have been very busy creating a Pink Shirt design for 2022. Watch this space to see some of the creative designs as well as some very cool video messages about bullying.
Well done Stanley Ave. We looked fabulous in Pink today!

Digi-Tech in Room 7
Room 7 had their first go at some entry level coding. Using different instructions they created their name in lights through basic coding steps. Room 7 enjoyed having a tinker, taking some risks and being inquiring learners.
Digital technology is a new element that has been introduced into the New Zealand Curriculum. The change provides a greater focus on students building their skills so they can be innovative creators of digital solutions, moving beyond solely being users and consumers of digital technologies.
