Dear Parents and Friends of the School
LAWRENCE AREA SCHOOL

Both Junior and Senior School have held Meet the Teacher nights, an opportunity for
parents to find out about class programmes as well as renew and build parent/teacher
relationships. Thank you to the many parents who made the most of this opportunity.
Feedback and feed forward, parents, pupils and teachers sharing goals is essential for
learning success.

Our rowdiest annual event, the school swimming championship, was held last Friday.
Students, in the face of a cold and grotty day, were sterling.
House Spirit saw students dressed and painted in red (Woods) and yellow (Read) in support
of their house. House captains and senior students rallied their respective troops for each
event and cheered on vigorously.
The quality of swimming and the competitive races were great to watch. We have many
capable junior swimmers who hopefully next year will benefit enormously from being able to
train in the new Tuapeka Aquatic Centre.
Through-out the day many parents, grand parents and friends visited the pool adding their
input and building the atmosphere.
To all students who participated, good on you for braving the cold, well done on many
personal best, thanks to our student helpers, well done to both houses. To the organisers and
staff helpers well done and thank you. There was however a disappointing aspect that I
addressed at this weeks senior assembly. There were a number of middle school and senior
students who did not turn up for this event. Personally I was not impressed by this - school
spirit is very important - and I was not impressed with some of the lame excuses given.
Parents you have a role to play in this. If your child was unable to swim we did have jobs for
all to ensure participation and contribution. Kind Regards John Auld

Year 12 Portobello Marine
Centre Trip
On the 5th March the year 12
Biology class travelled to
Portobello Marine Centre for
a day of learning based
around ecology and
adaptations of marine
animals. We had a fun filled
day and braved the cold to
gather data for an
assessment as well as getting
our hands dirty dissecting
sharks and crabs. We had
lots of laughs and came
home with a wealth of
knowledge about marine life
on the Otago peninsula.
