A great term behind us, another great term to come!

Kia ora everyone,

Wow! What an amazing term we have just had at Christchurch East. It was really rewarding to see parents, students and staff celebrating their learning for the term around the school.

Team two ran a vibrant Learning Celebration Assembly in week 10, which was a great way to finish off Maori Language Week. Well done to Mr Jorgensen who shared his mihi and put the challenge out to the rest of the staff to do the same with their students.

Congratulations to our parents who celebrated their learning by graduating from the Computer in Homes Programme. Click on this link to find out more.

Well done to our students who finished off the term the same way they started, with a genuine enthusiasm for learning with the broad range of learning opportunities the term provided. The various gifts from our community also helped to keep up our spirits during this time. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

We also received good news from the Ministry of Education in the last week of the term. They have agreed to allow us to continue with our senior toilet block upgrade. We are very fortunate to be allowed to proceed with this project, as all school building projects have been placed on hold as a result of the  earthquakes. The demolition crew will start this week and the project is expected to take 12-14 weeks.

Next term is looking to be just as exciting, staff have been working on our topic of Innovation over the last month. It is going to be great!

Enjoy the holiday break everyone, and I will look forward to seeing you all back next term.
