Welcome to Week 4 and it is Year 8 Camp Week!
Wow, it is hard to believe that we are at the week of Camp Wellington! On Monday, Kristie and the Year 8's will be up at the crack of dawn, to catch our 6:40am flight to Wellington! We will be sending updates to the Year 8 parents via the messenger group that has been set up, and we look forward to being back at school in Week 5.
This leaves the Year 7's in charge! Woohoo! This is the "Leadership Intensive" week for them, where they will take a deep dive into the following aspects of Matawara's programme -
- Look closely at the 5 areas of the Student Leadership Challenge and how we apply each of these categories to Leadership and being a Year 8 at Clarkville School for 2023.
- The Year 8 Leadership Project - how to complete this successfully, and the skills needed to maintain the focus and intention in a project for the whole year. Each Year 7 will complete 'a project in three days' where they plan and execute a project centred around making a plant kit for each of the students in Whakarewa.
- Developing the "Year 8 Leavers Year Book" which is gifted to each Year 8 at their Graduation Ceremony.
- Leading Whakarewa through their Camp Day!
- The Year 7's will run the sound cupboard and present for Assembly on Thursday, as training for the end of year ceremonies too!
The Year 7's submitted their completed projects for 2022 today, so we are looking forward to reading these, as the skills developed here are what we require to design, create and present the Leavers Year Book.
The Kaiapoi Tech Centre ran their open evening this week. A big "Thank You" to Bec Ansley, who attended and managed to snap some images of the projects from our team that were on display! They are absolutely outstanding!
