Technology & Languages
Tuesday was our first technology session for the year. The Tech team at Christchurch South Intermediate commented on how awesome our kids were from the start and the students loved attending their first tech sessions diving into some amazing hands-on activities. The new technology programme includes: Digitech, Coding, Food technology, Textiles, and Hard Materials.
We also had the pleasure of having our first language sessions with the specialist teaching staff from Cashmere high school. We enjoyed our first experiences of French and Spanish with Debbie and Victoria.
Leadership opportunities
Our new house captains had some opportunities in the first couple of days to setup and lead activities for Team Kōwhai and Pōhutukawa for their water play. The rest of the team have been learning about some of the Leadership opportunities available. The selection process for these leadership opportunities will be happening over the next week and students will be learning about how and what this will involve.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Ben Stoney for completing Grade 5 Violin. We are very pleased for his achievements!
We look forward to the opportunities coming up this term and cant wait to get stuck into the new learnings and experiences we will all have.
Please do not hesitate to contact any of the teaching staff if you have an questions about the upcoming term.
Ka kite!
