Calling All Keen Councillors!

Are you organised, confident, enthusiastic and creative? Then you should be standing for the Clarkville Student Council to become a CHOICE councillor (Confident Heroes Organising Incredibly Creative Events) and represent Team Discover.
You need to prepare a 1 minute presentation saying why YOU would be the best person for the job.

Oops you might need to read this one lying on your side.

MINT Think Tank Applications are open

Want to join the MINT THINK TANK? A group of creative, out of the box, curriculum experts that help the teachers to run the school? Then you need to prepare a speech that is at least one minute long and present it in front of the MINT team next Friday (7 March) at 1.20pm. You can make posters / powerpoints if you want to, but you do not have to. More information will be delivered to your team on Monday morning.

Trip to town

What a fabulous day in town. We saw lots of interesting things in the museum and asked a lot of questions. Banksy made us think with his pictures. 

The weather was kind to us and off we went to look at the Festival of Flowers amongst other art instalments. 

And how lucky were we. The dance mat was there. Wahoo. Michael Jackson eat your heart out!!

Technology Frustration

Isn't technology a wonderful thing when it's working? We thank you all for your patience and understanding over the last week or more while we have had no internet. We know how frustrating it is when things aren't on the blog when you want them to be. Hopefully the gnomes who were in the office today when we left know how to fix the problem and we'll be back up and running again by tomorrow.

Cheers

Lynley, Sue and Kerri 

Cities are like puzzles

Tomorrow marks the third anniversary of the Christchurch Earthquake.  This was written by one of our Year 8 boys to commemorate the anniversary in Assembly this morning.

Three years ago when the door was the haven from the crumbling floor, our strength was strained and courage crushed, beams buckled, buildings broke, we needed a light. After the earthquake, aftershocks struck, liquefaction leaked along with our stories. Cats ran, dogs strayed and howled, hoarders gathered their shattered treasures off the ground. The world had dug us a very deep hole. There were casualties, and in our hearts were scars for life.

But cities are like puzzles, except you choose the pieces to fill the holes, and the more people helping the faster it grows. Now is the time to think about what piece you will or already have contributed to help this city get on its feet!

Mini-ball

MiniBall

There is an opportunity for our Year 3 and 4 children to be involved in a Miniball competition to be held in the Ohoka School Hall on a Tuesday after school.

It would cost $30 a player and there needs to be 8 players in each team.

There would need to be a parent taking responsibility for the team.

If you would like to know more the poster is in Wharehui or talk to either Lynley or Sue.

 

First Day in Discover

Mmmmm - statistics, I wonder what that is?
