Week 2, Term 3, 2014.NEWSLETTER

Jessie with Jill from Westpac and her Sir Peter Blake Young Leaders Award

Tena koutou katoa,Growing great leaders who are proud, motivated and reflective is a focus here at Kumeroa Hopelands School. All our students are encouraged to step up and be leaders in their own way. At our community assembly last term we recognised the contributions of our house leaders and celebrated the announcement of the new leaders for Term 3.

We also recognised the input of a very special leader in our school through the Sir Peter Blake Young Leaders Award. The Sir Peter Blake Young Leader Award, in association with Westpac, recognises young people who have shown promising leadership in their schools and communities. In order to be nominated for this award students must demonstrate the following leadership characteristics; - Integrity; - Determination and the will to succeed; - Be a good team builder, leader and member; - Be hard working; and - Know how to have funI was very proud to present this award, along with Jill from Westpac, to Jessie Ellingham. Jessie is a great example of leadership in our school; she sets goals for herself, works hard, supports and encourages others but also is a lot of fun to be around. Well done Jessie – a well deserved award. As Sir Peter

showed us, there are leaders and there are dreamers. Leaders make things happen. Dreamers have a vision. The truly special people do both.One way that Jessie has demonstrated her leadership in our school recently was through the organisation of the Canteen Bandana Appeal pyjama day on the last day of Term 2. As a school we raised $68.00 for canteen.I look forward to working with all the leaders in our school, to supporting you to develop your leadership skills and capabilities and providing you with opportunities to grow as leaders and learners.Nga mihi nui, Julia.

School Speech Competition:Our school speech competition will be held on Tuesday September 9th. All students are expected to participate in this event. The theme this year is ‘narrative’ where students will be supported to tell the story of a person, place or thing that is important to them. The speech writing will be done at school but we ask, that in the coming weeks, you have discussions at home about what or who your child might like to speak about, and help them to gather important information to go into their speech. Students will need their topic and information at school by August 22nd, the end of week 5. Ms Edmond is happy to discuss options for speeches with parents of the younger students.
