Newsletter No. 2 Week 4 Term 4
Tokoroa Intermediate School 10 November 2022
Principal's Pen
At the end of last term we had a wonderful guest speaker, who talked to us about 'Our kids Online' - it was a very sobering talk about what our children can get up to online. Often unintentionally. I will have the Recaps inserted into the newsletter for your information.
We will have a full copy of the advice in our school prospectus. We will be requesting parents to have read the information before children will have access to our school 1 - 1 devices. We also have fire walls and vigilant teachers, but our children are also clever, inquisitive, and creative - we never underestimate them.
We had an awesome athletics day with a couple of our senior athletes coming close to breaking records. The children competed heartily for their Whares. They are proud of their Whare chants and the athletics day was another chance for them to exercise their lungs as well.
