Mihinui kia koutouWelcome to 2016 at Marina View School.
During the holidays I was fortunate to spend some time on the Coromandel Peninsula. Having time to relax at a beach and enjoy native birds interacting in the bush reminded me just how lucky we are in this beautiful country of ours.
Welcome back everyone and a warm welcome to new families and students to Marina View. It is great to have you as part of our community.
We are planning a year full of challenge, growth and enjoyment for our students.
During the first term learning is focused around the concept of Hauora / Wellbeing. Our students will be investigating ways to promote healthy living, successful learning and positive communities.
Later in the term a number of classes will be involved in Camps and Activity weeks, where they will undertake a range or personal challenges and further develop their skills of team work . It will be a great experience for them and something they will remember for a long time.
Since the school year is about to start, I thought you might be interested in sharing this tool that helps students keeping their school related information organized and accessible.
ReplyDeleteIt's an app that lets the student save his schedule, calendar, absences, calculate his grades, notifies him before classes and exams, and a few more.

A great yummy and inspiring piece of thoughts sharing, thanks :) Now we have the UN's light of SDGs (see below), looks me very inspiring, more or less 'translate' to daily learning and teaching :)
