His first project is leadership growth using traditional rakau with our lads, and a second project is waka ama training in readiness for a cluster competition. Year five and six children who wish to participate need to write a letter of application due this week. Larn is an amazing resource. We are very excited to work alongside him. Cool Kids invitations are going home this week. Remember this is the afternoon where tamariki can bring cool bikes, cars and special things to school to enjoy.

Mike Bellamy is all set to build our bike track these holidays. We are very excited about this project. The Bike On Trust has already donated 210 helmets to our school and each child will receive a helmet to keep at school before the track officially opens on the 15th of October. Fifty bikes are on order, in a variety of sizes that all children can enjoy. We are seeking donations of balance bikes. If you have one you would like to share, please let us know.

Rippa
The rippa team had a very successful trip to Wellington coming in a very respectable 6th place
nationally. We have thanked Phil for his outstanding skills and for leading an amazing group of
students in a sporting experience.
All EOTC/risk management paperwork was completed before leaving. Sue coordinated all
activities and finances. The Board congratulates Phil, Sue, the team and their families.
Accelerated Literacy Learning (ALL)
This group is coming to a close, with our 15 weeks finishing off in week 10. This program,
alongside classroom teaching has been hugely effective and in our view, time well spent. Children
have made significant gains in their reading levels, hitting our goals, and putting them in a position
to reach National Standards by their anniversary dates. We are looking to duplicate this process
in some form next year, but in a wider setting.
As part of our contract with the Ministry of Education, Briar and Emily will present in Rotorua to
facilitators and colleagues. Briar is completing our progress report to the Ministry of Education.
We have applied to continue this programme in 2015.
Due to the success of this programme, Reading Recovery will be put on hold for 2015 and the
Accelerated Literacy Learning programme will be extended using Board of Trustee funding.
Staffing 2015
We have received the Ministry of Education staffing levels for 2015. Two teaching positions will
be advertised, a legal requirement. We currently have three fixed term teachers in the school.
The Board hopes that these fixed term teachers will apply for these positions.
Fort Playground
A huge thank you to Ross for coordinating the paint work of our fort, and David Dixon for spray
painting the structure. Our playground looks amazing.

Chocolates
We have closed the chocolate fundraiser and are awaiting money and/or chocolates from 18
whanau. 44 boxes are unsold. These will be sold from the office, and when appropriate, at
fundraisers.
MAD (Make a Difference) Group/Roopu Fundraiser
The disco is all in hand. Roopu and MAD will share the profit. I appreciate the ideas generated by
this group and how they are very quick to support new initiatives.
Health and Safety Check
Areas that have been addressed this month:
New tap on the staff room hot water cylinder.
Painted yellow strips where the concrete is uneven/is a step.
Hall and room 9 require safety strips on the edge of the steps. These are on back order.
New evacuation lists to be placed in classrooms.
Bikes in Schools
Invitations are in the process of being sent out for our grand opening on the 15th October at
11am. Mike Bellamy will undertake this project during the school spring break.
ERO
ERO was an extremely positive experience. We were able to have conversations/discussions points
leading to improved outcomes. Staff felt safe in sharing their knowledge and being open to next
steps.
As a Board we are starting to consider how we are going to develop n new school vision that is
reflective of our whanau and new initiatives in education. A consultant will support this
development over the next year. The Board will also continue to refine key Policies.
Bees
After receiving a letter from Izzie and I’lah the Board now seeks whanau feedback about having
a hive of bees at school. Like with the Country Calendar programme viewed earlier in the year, a
wind mat cloth will be placed around the hive as a barrier to children.
Kind Regards
Donna, Seton, Alex, Tineke, Julie, Peter and Emily
E*il
Dearmembers try U a 5 *We have a problem that we would like to share with you. Last week, +we learnt that the bee population is reducing around the world. This is *because some people are using harmful sprays on the plants and Tflowers that the bees are collecting nectar from. Also, due to human #activities, paddocks have turned into cities, towns and roads. This #1nmeans the bees are struggling to find, collect and store food for tt"i, flFfamities. tg
We have learnt that bees are very irnportant insects because we need f; \ t+
them to pollinate fruit. Fruit provides us with important vitamins and *nutrients. They also make delicious honey which is very good for us. We Tneed bees more than they need us! f
we would like to ask if waihi East School would be allowed to have m*
