Dear Parents/Caregivers
Community Consultation
Survey
The Board of Trustees is undertaking its annual community consultation.
We want to receive feedback and ideas to inform our planning for 2014.
Today each family has been given a booklet that contains:
- The current strategic plan.
- The 2013 achievement targets for the school
- The 2012 National Standards data for Papakowhai School and 2013
progress data.
We would like as many families as possible to complete the survey. You
can do this by going to https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N99S56B .
If you are not able to complete this survey online please contact the Office
and we will provide you with a paper copy.
Thank you
for taking a small amount of your valuable time to help us plan for your
child’s education.
Health Consultation
It is
important that we consult with you about the health programmes we run at
Papakowhai School. Do you know what is being taught? Are you happy with the
content and the age it is delivered to?
We currently
run a sexuality education programme in Year 7 and 8. Do you think this should
be extended to Year 5 and 6? Have I got your attention yet?
We run a
Keeping Ourselves Safe unit that includes preventing child abuse but we
currently don’t run the Kia Kaha, prevention of bullying programme. Have we got
that right?
The Life Ed
programme speaks to our younger students about healthy eating and caring for
our bodies. This extends to drug and alcohol education for our Year 7 and 8’s.
Are you happy with this?
If these are
issues that you would like to have input into, then please come to an evening I
am hosting on August 21st. We will have coffee and dessert and look
at the content of the programmes we offer, and some of the ones we don’t. Make
sure you have your say. RSVP to mark@papakowhai.school.nz by Friday 16th August. The evening will
start sharp at 7:30pm in the staffroom and finish by 9:30pm.
Kind regards
Mark Smith
