Wow what a week! We have had a huge week putting our production scene together, swimming and lastly, our amazing fort day today! This was a wonderful way to celebrate NEARLY being at the end of the term! The photos on HERO through the morning will show just how much we enjoy this simple but effective reward!
Our production is rapidly approaching and tickets for this event will go on sale on MONDAY 28th NOVEMBER.
MATAWARA SECRET SANTA -
It is getting close to that time... our infamous 'Secret Santa.' Matawara runs this fun event on the last day of school, and it is always a LOUD, RAUCOUS time! Each student needs to purchase a unisex gift of $5 value, so they can participate in our 'steal the best gift' event!
We are happy to have children start to bring these as shopping occurs.
YEAR 8 VALEDICTORIAN SPEECHES -
All Year 8's have access to the 'workspace' that outlines expectations, resources and ideas for their 2022 Valedictorian Speeches. All Year 8's are expected to spend time writing their Valedictorian speeches outside of the school time given. It would be really helpful if you could have a chat to your child about the special memories you all have of the time your child has spent at Clarkville.
We are writing our speeches under the headings of ...
* Stories of our people
* Stories of our place
* Stories of our traditions
That means students are NOT going through the usual "In Year 1 we did... in Year 2 we did..." All children need to pick 2-3 memories under the headings above, and elaborate on them.
The Year 8's will all present their speeches to our Team on MONDAY 5th DECEMBER. From here, both Linda and I will select speeches to be presented at the Year 8 Dinner and additional speeches for the final assembly at the end of the year.
We do not necessarily pick the most polished speech, it is more the speech that tells a story, and is entertaining, so work will need to be done at home before each of the end of year ceremonies.
KAIAPOI HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE DAY -
Those who are attending Kaiapoi High School in 2023 will have their experience day on Tuesday 6th December. A bus will come to school to transport these students to the high school and leaves Clarkville at 8:50am. This bus will return them back to us at the end of the day. Jo Hall, our Learning Support Coordinator will be chaperoning them.
YEAR 8 LEAVERS YEARBOOK
The Year 8 leavers Yearbook has been a project for the Year 7 students and they have done a great job adding photos and creating professional page layouts.
The Yearbooks will be an A5 booklet, printed professionally with card and semi-gloss paper. This will be a great memento for our Year 8 students.
