         Welcome to Maniototo Area School



                      Principals Perspective

                      17th November 2011

 

Busy. That describes the school at the moment. Rather than taper down for the year, things are getting more and more eventful. 3 camps are in the planning stage. The Year 9 and 10’s will be soon kayaking, tramping, shooting and mountain biking at the West Eweburn from the 5th December.

The Year 7 and 8’s are biking to Middlemarch via Hyde. Mr Mooney and Miss Docherty inform me there will be plenty of challenging activities along the way, so I suggest students (and parent helpers) brace themselves.

Miss Dowling and Kakariki are heading to Waikouaiti for a couple of days of coastal activities. The itinerary looks fantastic and I am sure everyone will have a great time.

Many thanks to the teachers who have given up their time for the preparation for the camps. Without their enthusiasm these camps would not be able to take place. Also thank you to the parent volunteers that give up their time.

Swimming lessons from the Wakatipu Swim School start on the 28th November and run for the week. The Year 7 and 8’s will be swimming on the days they are not at camp. Let’s hope for some fine weather and warm(ish) water. The establishment of these lessons have made a significant impact in the swimming technique and water safety of our students.

Just to cap things off the Junior School are presenting a musical production on the 23rd November. Be prepared to take a trip down memory lane and once again be amazed by the multitude of talents our students possess. Good luck to all the performers.

Finally a quick plug for the upcoming Board of Trustees election. If you want to have a real say in the future direction of our school please put your name forward for election. We have some exciting times ahead and if you would like to be part of making our school a better place we would love to hear from you.

Regards

David Hunter

Principal
