What an awesome two weeks we have had in the P\u014dhutukawa Hub! Students have been showing excellent focus across all learning areas and are consistently demonstrating the Beckenham Te Kura o P\u016broto school values. <\/span><\/p>

As the weather gets cooler, students are asked to keep there muddy footwear outside of the classrooms. If they would like to bring along slippers to wear in class then that is completely fine!<\/p>

Cross Country<\/span><\/h3>

A highlight of the fortnight for many was our annual school Cross Country last Friday. We are so proud of all our P\u014dhutukawa students who trained hard in the lead-up to the event and gave it 100% on the day. Congratulations to those students who placed in the top 10!<\/span><\/p>

Weekly Winter Sports<\/span><\/h3>

On Wednesday, we held our Weekly Winter Sport trials. It was fantastic to see so many students participating and giving their best effort. Teams will be named early next week.<\/span><\/p>

Weekly Winter Sport will begin on Thursday of Week 5 (21st May) and will run for 10 weeks. Please keep an eye on Hero for further information regarding this.<\/span><\/p>

The HDCA for Parents and Wh\u0101nau<\/span><\/h3>

The Harmful Digital Communications Act (or HDCA for short) is an act passed by the Government back in 2015 to help people dealing with serious or repeated harmful digital communications. It covers anything digital like text, emails or social media content.<\/span><\/p>

The most useful thing for parents to understand about the HDCA is the way the 10 communication principles define what is good or bad behaviour online.<\/span><\/p>

If you\u2019re ever concerned about your young person (or you just want to brush up on your knowledge!) visit <\/span>Netsafe\u2019s Guide to the HDCA<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>
