 Ng\u0101 mihi e te wh\u0101nau, warm greetings to you all,<\/span><\/p>

We hope you all enjoyed the long weekend, and with Show Day now behind us it means we are well past the halfway mark of the term, and find ourselves with less than 4 school weeks left in the year! You will have received your tamariki's end-of-year school report, and we hope you have had the opportunity to sit down and read through this together with them. As you will know, the General Comment from their homegroup teacher is written directly to your child and is a summation of the highlights and the successes of their year with us. It's also a wonderful opportunity to read and reflect on 2024 as well as look ahead to next year, be they staying in P\u014dhutukawa or moving on, and start to think about and discuss together some goals and aspirations they may have for 2025.<\/p>

With all of that being said, it's very important to note that we are not yet at the end of the year and our message to the students continues to be that we have a lot of fantastic things to look forward to yet! You can read about them below, as well as some other important information. Thank you for your continued support, and good luck to all of our athletes competing at the Canterbury Athletics on Wednesday. Nau mai te wero, bring on the challenge!<\/p>

Transition Visits<\/strong><\/p>

As busy as it is at the end of the year, we are also preparing our students for next year with 'Transition Visits'. Next week we will be giving the 2025 Year 6's a chance to be with our incoming 2025 Year 5's as a cohort and have a Learning Through Play session together. As well as this, our outgoing Year 6's will be spending 2 mornings in the Kauri team to learn about their programme and will spend a morning with next year's Year 8 students. These visits are a valuable chance for the tamariki to reconnect with some of their friends, and ask some questions they may have about 2025. We encourage you to talk with your tamariki about these visits and start the conversations about 2025 if you feel they're ready. Any momentum we can build now to set everyone up for a successful start to next year is gold. M\u0101 t\u0101tou katoa te waka e hoe, we are all rowing the waka together.<\/p>

Navigating the Journey<\/strong><\/p>

Our Navigating the Journey programme continues to roll along, we are into Growing and Changing - Te tipu me te huri o te tangata<\/strong><\/em> now, and our key concepts are again attached. Thanks as always for your continued support in continuing the discussions we have at school at home, too.<\/p>

Cycle Safe Programme (Year 6 only)<\/strong>
During weeks 8 and 9 (December 2 - 10) our Year 6 students will be involved in the Cycle Safe Programme provided by the Christchurch City Council. Cycle Safe is a cycle skills education programme for schools. Students learn the benefits of cycling and how to ride with confidence and be road-wise. All Year 6 students will participate in this course and the instructors cater to all cycling abilities.<\/strong> Your child should have brought home a permission slip for you to sign and return to school.<\/p>

Next week we will be sending some more information home about which days your child will be participating.<\/p>

You can find out more information about the programme here https:\/\/ccc.govt.nz\/transport\/getting-around\/getting-to-school\/resources-for-schools\/cyclesafe\/ If you have any questions about the programme, please get in touch with your homegroup teacher.<\/p>
