Dear Parents / Caregivers All students have now completed their
first Sexual Development Education session with either a Public Health Nurse
(Community Health Waikato), Pacific Family Education or Raukawa Trust Board
facilitator. We encourage parents to talk to their children about the
content of the programme. A reminder to parents that you are able to
attend the sessions with the students. One type of leadership available to our
students is that of being a House Captain. There are sixteen House
Captains with two students (one boy and one girl from each House) being on
stage and taking some part in Friday assemblies. There are also House
Captains assemblies (eight a year) where the students are responsible for
the assemblies. This involves organising a guest speaker and
introducing and thanking them through to speaking to the assembly,
presenting awards and certificates and ensuring that the assembly runs
smoothly. This is a task many adults would find difficult.
Parents are welcome to attend our Friday assemblies as it is an opportunity
to get a “feeling for the tone of the school”. One of our Year 8 students, Danni Arnell,
competed in the Victorian International Open Championship for judo in
Melbourne, Australia. Danni was chosen for the development squad to
gain some more experience. She loved the experience and topped it off
by winning a silver medal. Congratulations to Danni, who I know will
have been a credit to not only her family, but to Tokoroa and New Zealand.
Vision Hearing Technicians from Community Health will be visiting Thursday,
1 September. The objective of the visit is to identify previously
undetected vision defects. All Year 7 students will be screened Celebration of International Year
of the Child Dates to Remember
- Tokoroa High School Open Day this Friday, 2 September for Year 8 students.
School will finish 2:40 p.m. this Friday, wet or fine.
