Wow, what an amazing first three weeks we have had to start the term. Our school wide theme of 'Community' as an opportunity to give back is alive and well throughout the school.
Our Whanau Groups are a great example of this in action, as you can see with the photos below. The groups below are discussing our theme and what they are doing in their individual classes across the school. Whanau Groups meet every three weeks on a Friday morning and are made up of students across all year levels. The intention is that students would stay in the same Whanau Group throughout their time at Christchurch East as an opportunity to develop student and staff relationships across the school.
Also our staff continue with regular professional development to undertake their role in our school community. This photo is from a staff meeting session with Marg Wright who support us with numeracy developments.
Our board has also had a lot of training and meetings this term. Below is picture of some of the members creating their planter box art.
Our PTA ran a Disco last Friday which was a great event for our students. Well done team!
Have a great week everyone,
Mike.
