Leadership Camp

What a fabulous couple of days at Leadership Camp this year! I am so proud of all the students for their amazing attitudes! Fabulous examples of helpfulness, leadership, perseverance, happiness and supportiveness!! We had a very busy couple of days with our climb up Mt Te Aroha, swimming, making our own dinners, listening to an awesome talk by BEN BROWN, overnight in the Rec Centre and a day at Waimarino!

Leadership Camp

Leadership Camp begins tomorrow with a walk up Mt Te Aroha, and off to Waimarino Adventure park on Friday! Thanks to all our parents that are coming along to help over the two days.

Selfies !

Every term we take photos to put around our whiteboard - this term we had the choice of props to wear! As you can see from our photos we enjoyed taking our photos.

Technology at Te Aroha College

Today was our first day of tech for the year. This year we have metal, cooking, wood and a new class in digital technologies. It was great wandering around and seeing Stanley Ave students in action.

BYOD trial

This term Rooms 1 and 2 are trialling BYOD in their classrooms. A letter was sent home today with our students so look out for it! If you already have a device at home that you would like to use at school, bring it in! At our Meet the Teacher evening on the 17th February Mr Spicer and I will discuss the trial further and answer any questions. Feel free to pop in and see us at any stage.

Day One Swimming

Some photos from this mornings swimming time. It was slightly cold when we first hopped in but the sun eventually began to shine :) Let's see if we can have everyone with their togs tomorrow.

SWIMMING STARTS TODAY

The pool is open, the water is crisp and at 9am every morning Room 1 will be swimming. Swimming sports is happening in Week 4 - we need to make the most of every day :) Even if it is slightly cold in the morning

First day back!

26 gorgeous students to start day one!
