************************************

Kia ora koutou.

Yesterday our middle syndicate students headed off to camp. There was a lot of excitement among them before they headed off. This year they are staying at the southern end of Lake Taupo. They have had a great start to the camp, enjoying archery, paintball target shooting and braving the water slide along with some adults! I'm heading down to camp today to catch up with everyone.

Tomorrow we have a team of senior students entered into the Pukenui School technology challenge. The day's events involve the students solving problems and scenarios using maths, science and a lot of teamwork, creativity and newspaper.

The last day of the term is next Friday the 30th. We will be holding a Pen Assembly at 11:15am in the hall. Please feel free to come along and support our students.

Ngā mihi,

Our School Values - KETE

At Ōtorohanga South School we have 4 KETE values.

These are: Kindness, Effort, Trustworthy and Engaged.

We actively promote these values in all that we do. Teaching these values to our tamariki is a journey and so we are continually looking at ways to promote positive behaviours for learning.

Our KETE values were developed to help promote consistent language when we talk about expected behaviour across all our school settings. We also use this language when supporting our students' social, emotional and educational needs.

The above visual has been shared throughout the school so that our KETE is front and centre in all that we do.

We would really appreciate you using this language when you talk with your tamariki at home too.

Click below to see our KETE value for the fortnight which is ENGAGED.
