Inspirations
All students are working at school on the creation of a short movie, documentary, music video or animation as part of our literacy and visual language programme. We are offering extra time and tuition for any students who would like to book it. This is part of our independent planning focus and a way of helping students realise their goals. A teacher will be available for 1/2 an hour some lunchtimes. Nicki will also be available after school each Tuesday and Friday (except 13th June). Students are also encouraged to learn from their peers as teaching one another is the best way to consolidate learning.
Carly will also be working with us this Thursday and is available to help students especially with dance or moving to music. We congratulate Carly on her job as Arts reporter feature writer for the Manawatu Standard, we enjoy reading your articles.
Our Production is planned for Wednesday the 2nd of July.

Nearly all students are very motivated and it is great to see their fitness and speed improving with each run!! Could students please make sure they have shorts, or suitable clothes to run in every day. If your child is unable to participate in anyway we would appreciate a note, email or text please. This means we can take into account various fitness levels, coughs and colds. Students unable to participate fully will be able to walk or jog instead.

This event will be held on Friday the 20th of June at Waituna West School. (postponement date: 27th June). As it is a school day, all children are expected to attend. It is about accepting challenges and working towards succeeding! Could we ask that all parents have a turn being a marshall on the course at some stage of the day.

please make sure students take a change of footwear and clothes as they may get
wet and dirty.
The course is the same as last year.
Parents are able to watch their children from positions on the course as
long as you keep off the track and out of the way of competitors.
Students will
need to take warm clothing including a warm hat, their lunch, a water bottle
and suitable footwear for running in. Students will need to wear their
school sports uniforms please.
Parents are
required to transport their own children to this event please, however if you
have difficulty with this, please let Mary know as soon as possible. Mary can take some students to the event. It is great to see so many Apiti supporters there every year. If
parents do not stay to support the runners, please make sure you return in time
for pick up at 1.30pm. The school bus will not run at all on this day.
There will be
sausages/pies/soup and other hot food, drinks, tea, coffee and baking for sale throughout
the day.
The phone tree
will operate if this day is postponed and it will be school as usual.
If any parent is keen for their student to travel to Waituna West for a practice run before race day, please let Mary or Nicki know so a day can be arranged. We would require transport and would also require at least a group of students keen to go.
