Thank you to all the whānau who have signed up for conferences on Wednesday June 14th or Thursday June 15th next week. Reports are available to view on HERO, and these conferences are an important opportunity to ask questions and find out more about progress and achievement.
Please remember that we will be closing early, at 2pm, on Wednesday and Thursday next week. Children who usually attend BOSCO will be able to be there from 2pm.
If you have not yet completed both of the forms below, please make sure you do that today. Each family needs to fill out BOTH forms, please:

Due to student-led conferences, Winter Sports will not be taking place on Thursday afternoon of Week 7. Competitive and non-competitive sports will resume in Week 8.
We have had a spate of Senior jackets going missing over the last couple of weeks. Can you please double-check that students have their correct jacket, and that it is clearly named.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved in our annual Cheese Roll fundraiser. Whether you pitched in directly on the day, or provided equipment, or even if you bought some of the delicious end product, we are incredibly appreciative of your support.
The students worked incredibly hard in shifts throughout the day on Wednesday, as evidenced by the photos below. A sepcial big thank you needs to go out to Nicky, who organised and led the effort.
If you have not received your cheese roll order yet, or if you didn't get part of your order, please get in touch with Nicky via email (nicky.dunlop@beckenham.school.nz). If you still have equipment at school to collect, please feel free to pop in before or after school to collect it, or send an email to your child's homegroup teacher and we will organise for your child to bring it home.

Thank you to those who have already signed up to volunteer for our ski day in Term 3. We have booked our ski day at Mt Hutt for Monday, August 28. This day has a very early start, meeting at school at 5:45am! We return by 6pm. At this stage we are looking for more parents/caregivers to help on this trip. We are after both experienced skiers, who can help on the snow, and people on foot to support around the base area. Please fill in this form if you are keen to join us.

Alongside the ski trip is the need to fundraise! Over the past few years we have made and sold cheese rolls. This system works well (with the children as the main workforce) and we have made lots of money in the past. Wednesday, June 7th will be our production day. Please read this form to see if you can help and fill it out if you can contribute in some way. Thanks team - 'We get there together!'

Of course we can only make cheese rolls if they have been ordered - it's great to see that nine families have ordered via the google form so far. This can only mean that we are soon to be inundated with paper forms filled with orders! Speak to your tamariki about the prize in play for those that sell the most! Orders close on Monday May 29th, so get selling!

We've had a couple of full weeks to fill you all in on. In this post:
The heavens opens and poured down on us, just as we gathered for the start of the 2023 cross-country. With the decision made to go ahead, we were impressed with the grit and determination shown by the vast majority of the team. Everyone had different measures of success. We were so impressed by those who managed to run the full course without stopping and those who maintained a regular run - walk - run pace. A special congratulations to the top 3 finishers in each section:
A huge thanks to parents who came along to help with the running of the event.
Starting in Week 2, we have been taking part in LifeChanger sessions with visiting facilitators from Auckland. LifeChanger empowers young people to live thriving, resilient lives by developing their social, emotional and resilience skills. The children have been engaging really well with the learning, and we have two more to wrap things up in Week 4.

World Vision Junior Youth Conference
Grace, Stella, Scarlett and Alyssa attended the World Vision Junior Youth Conference on Thursday of Week 2. The girls had a great day learning about the amazing work that World Vision does and came back feeling very inspired. The 40 Hour Challenge is coming up so stay tuned to hear from our leaders in the coming weeks about this great cause.
A huge thank you to Katie for taking the girls to the conference!
On Wednesday, a number of students from the Friday Code Club passions group had the opportunity to head into Turanga. Find out all about what they got up to via the link below to the video they created.

Maths Clubs are proving to be popular on a Thursday morning. A reminder that we have two Maths Clubs this term, both taking place on Thursdays from 8.20 to 8.50am. Nicky will be running an extension club in the Breakout Space, and Bridie will be running a Times Tables club in Kōmanawa for those who want to improve their multiplication facts knowledge. All students are welcome.
