Next Steps Parent Teacher Interviews: NEXT WEEK!
The schedules for parent/teacher interviews have now been finalised. The
opportunity for making appointments was on line from 15 March until 29 March.
There is now no opportunities to make new appointments as teachers require
time to prepare for the interviews that have been scheduled. Should you wish to
make an appointment about an aspect of your child’s education at CBS please
make an appointment with your child’s teacher by contacting your teacher
directly for a mutually suitable time after 8 April. Thanks.

The 2016 Board of Trustee elections are to be held in June this year. Campbells
Bay School will be looking for five parent representatives and one staff
representative for a new three year term.
We would like to encourage our school community to participate in this election.
Information is available on the role of a trustee and what skills are involved on
the following website - www.trustee-election.co.nz/becoming-a-trustee/what-is-
a-trustee.
Further information will be available in the coming weeks. Please make sure
that the office has your current address details as all nomination and voting
papers will be posted to the home address we have on file.
Kind regards
Karen McNair - Returning Officer
1987: The Olden Days
Last year in term one we started publishing a series of eleven articles I wrote
entitled ‘1974’. The significance of 1974 was this was my first year of teaching
when I was let loose on the unsuspecting children of a school in a seaside
suburb north of Wellington. I compared teaching back in those ‘olden days’ with
the experiences children have in their classrooms today. My conclusion was
that children today get a better deal in the classroom compared to when I was a
classroom teacher and not just because I am no longer a classroom teacher!
I thought it might be useful to go back once more
to reflect on the trends that are apparent today in
comparison to when I first became a principal
back in 1987; yes, quite some time ago. The
point is not to be indulgent and to wallow in the
past but, rather, to use the past to reflect on
where we are today.
So, what are the trends that are apparent today? It is very difficult to rank them
so I won’t. Hence, please regard the short articles as being all pretty much ‘first
among equals’ as much time could be consumed by tinkering with rankings for
no real benefit. The first of three articles: Next week ‘The Brain’.
School Camp Dates
Year 6
11 – 14 April 2016 at Carey Park,
Henderson
Year 5
4 – 6 May 2016 in Rotorua
Year 4
15 April 2016 at Carey Park,
Henderson (Not overnight)
Reminder that the deadline for
payments of Year 4 Camp is
Friday 1 April, Year 6 Camp
Wednesday 6 April and Year 5
Camp Friday 8 April.
Payments can be made
through the school’s online
payment portal.
Vehicles in School
Grounds
A reminder that aside from
vehicles transporting children
with the official disabled pass,
non staff/contractor vehicles are
not to use the school parking
areas.
Parking is at a premium for staff.
Hence, please do not use the
school car parking areas.
The gate from the bus bay to the
car parks will be locked in the
afternoons from approximately
2.30 until 3.30pm daily. This will
reduce vehicle movement across
the small pedestrian crossing,
thereby improving the safety for
our children.
After School
No children are to be on the
school grounds after 3:15pm
without a caregiver or suitable
supervisor.

Communication
We ask that if you have a mobile phone, you down load the school’s app - see
below.
We use this as the first method of contact when messages need to go to more
than one person and it is important those people get the message in a timely
manner.
The app is free! It is easy to download; the proof being that I managed it! While
we also use the school’s newsletter for ‘breaking news’ the app is the best way
to receive urgent and or important information from the school.
If you have any problems downloading the app I am happy to show you how :)
Reminders
This is a ‘hat term.’ Please ensure your child has their named school hat at
school every day.
For the sake of safety we ask that you inform us ahead of time if your child is
not going to be at school. Please use either the designated telephone number
(410 9551) or the absence option on the tiqbiz school app.
Haven’t downloaded the app yet? Please see below how to do this.
The app is an important communication tool.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHANGE YOUR CHILD’S CLASSROOM IF YOU
HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE APP.
Park safely and keep our children safe
This year our school is participating in Auckland Transport’s ‘Safety at the
School Gate’ programme. Drivers who stop in the wrong place to drop off
passengers put the safety of children at risk. Parking officers will be on patrol
outside the school this year and will be issuing tickets to drivers who park
illegally.
The agreed approach is ‘zero tolerance’ – There will be no warnings issued, you
will receive a ticket if you are double parked, parked on yellow lines, or over
someone’s driveway – or for any other vehicle safety offence.
Please park legally to keep our children safe and to avoid being ticketed.
School Photos
Reminder to return your red photo
order envelopes to the school
office by Friday 1 April.
