Student Notices/Panui

PB4L School Value Focus: 

  • Kahikatea Kirkwood has 5 school values: Whanaungatanga, Rangatiratanga, Tohungatanga, Manaakitanga and Kaitiakitanga. This term, instead of focusing on just one value, we would like to celebrate the variety of these values displayed throughout our school days.
Sport:

  • This term we have the following sports available to you: Swimming (whole school event + CAIMS), Triathlon, Rugby League, Hockey, Orienteering, Cricket, Touch, and Futsal. In order to make these happen, we need awesome students who want to participate and we will need some parent helpers! Listen out for more information about the above sports. 
  • Hockey Goalie: Do you have any students in Year 7 or 8 who play in the goalie position for Hockey? If so, let your classroom teacher know or come and find Miss Brenssell (Room 10) or Mr Botting (Room 12). 
  • Water Polo: We need to put a team in for water polo this week, so we need to know who may be keen to play. Games are on a Monday night between 6:45 and about 9:30pm. There are approximately 6 games per term, with a cost of approximately $60 per term for each player. The pool is 2m deep so you must be a confident swimmer and comfortable playing an aggressive sport. A sign up sheet will be up on the steps outside the library at morning tea and lunch today. If you are not sure if you are keen on Water Polo or want some early season training, there are three have a go sessions this month (Feb 10, 12, 14) run by Water Polo Canterbury. Info and registration at https://www.canterburywaterpolo.org.nz/year-7-8s/have-a-go-sessions. Any questions, come and see Mrs Robertson.
