Clive is our school
We remember those who have had loved
ones pass away over the holidays.
Mauria atu i a koe.
Kua tae mai nga roimata.
To those who are with us, greetings …
great to have you all back.
Naumai e te whanau ki tenei kura.
Welcome to you, our families, to your
school.
2017 was a great year with children being
first and foremost at school.
2018 will be even better!!!
` As a whole School community, we look
forward to working closely with our parents and
children to achieve the learning, social and
academic expectations which we all hold.
February and another academic year is
with us. The new classroom is completed and
looks and operates well, we really do have
another innovative learning space equipped with
top quality teachers. As our children put their
uniform on, on the first morning and carried their
lunches heading back to school, there would have
been ‘first day back excitement’ and
‘expectations’ and even in some cases nerves.
The children would have had a high level of
motivation as they remember the discussions you
had with them about trying their best, a new
room new teacher and they will be tired after the
first week of school. Most physical growth for
children occurs when sleeping.
The greatest challenge for all is to keep
them the children motivated for achievement all
through their lives? Will they be able to withstand
the inevitable disappointments and failures that
come with trying out new challenges, be they in
the classroom or playground.
Parents who understand the importance of
nurturing good risk-taking behaviour are sending
their child to class with more than the latest in
footwear. Learning is a natural arena of growth
and risk for children. As our children put forth
their hard work and increase their determination
to do well, they are also reaching into the
unknown without knowing if they will succeed or
fail.

Sometimes, self-doubts of being able to
learn new material and articulating a wrong
answer can cause embarrassment from their
perspective that can sometimes make our
children withdraw and get anxious.For young
children there is the added risk of separation from
the primary caregiver.
By nurturing responsible risk taking
and recognising challenge and failure as a
normal part of life, we can help our children
make their way through another school
year with all of its highs and lows …
knowing that through failure comes
success, determination and growth. If it
was always too easy, then no real progress
would be made.
You as parents are also assisting them in
developing that very important skill of
independence.
Civil Defence at Clive school
In case of fire we evacuate to the
school playing field (this we practice each
term). In case of earth quake we drop
cover hold (this we practice each term) or we
follow our evacuation plan which is attached
(this we do not practice).
The Clive School App is used to inform
parents in emergency situations.
Education at all State Schools is
free from years 5-19yrs.
There has been a lot of ‘press’ about the
costs of Education, especially when according to
‘law’ we in the state system are deemed to offer a
free education. (Section 3 Education Act 1989)
Clive school does ask for a donation and
the majority of families do meet the request over
the course of the year. What does it cover ???
devices (ipads), the maintenance and treatment
costs of the school pool, additional teacher aide
time, ongoing maintenance of the school library.
No Payments of Monies to the School Board
of Trustees are compulsory
Except for the voluntary purchases of goods
and services or enhancements additional to
the delivery of the curriculum.
So
School donations (school fees / levies)
voluntary
Education outside of the classroom
(camps / tramps / visits) voluntary.
It is reasonable to contribute to the costs
of food and transport as a donation.
Watch/view a show at school in school
time voluntary
Contribution to e-learning apps voluntary
Then
If your child has chosen to make and take
an item in technology to your home and
keep (a cost may be incurred)
A School organised stationery pack
(a cost will be incurred)
Chosen to participate in an activity
additional to the delivery of the curriculum
such as Guitar with Brendon or Speech
Drama with Samantha
(then they will charge a fee)
The playing of sport after school in a team
for the School is a choice and may well
have a cost associated with it. Eg
Tennis coaching with Guy. Or Miniball,
summer hockey, futsal etc
(a cost will be incurred)
And
All costs will be informed to you in
advance of your child participating.
A full document is available to take if you
so wish from the school office explaining in
greater detail the above. Really important to read
if your children attend Intermediate or High
School.
Apology for the use of the word ‘fee’ on the
stationery list. It has been removed.My error.
We do however rely on donations to
make all that we do at school occur.

Defibrillator
We at Clive school have a
defibrillator primarily for the school to use,
but also for use by the community. Located in
the school office it is easily accessible in out
of school hours.
This defibrillator was made available
with generous donations from;
IS Irrigation on Lawn Road, JEL Jamieson
Earthmoving Ltd and Powell Engineering
as well as the School Board of Trustees who
we a very grateful to.
Road Safety is everybody’s
concern.
Walking, scootering, push biking to
and from school. It is really important that
children are reminded about safety when
going to or from school. Care on the footpath
of drive ways and backing vehicles. If your
child needs to cross the road then they must
use the crossings and if not then please teach
your children to think about their safety and
check before stepping onto the road. We
nearly lost one to a car on Sutton Avenue on
Monday afternoon.
The biggest Thank you for excellent
‘first day behaviour’ goes to the drivers of
children in cars. It was such a great feeling
not stressing about parking and pick ups and
drop offs. Just awesome. Thank you.
The Bridge is just that on the road for
vehicles to transverse it is not for cars to
wait/park on whilst waiting for children to
emerge. Please use the Pedestrian
Crossing when taking children across the
road.
Good lines of communication established between Parents and the School… just in case you are
unaware;
Please sign in or out by using the
ipad on the office counter if you are collecting children for appointments or they are late to school. It ensures we know where children are when at school.
The Bell times are 8.55am school
starts 11am interval 1pm Lunch 1.55pm last session starts 3pm school ends for the day. Assembly held on Friday at approx. 2.30pm.
School uniform is as per the order
form it is uniform across the school, navy blue or black tights, if dirty from playing on the field at interval or lunch time either wash the knees and legs or wear school track pants into class this saves the carpets and many dollars in cleaning. If in the wash that is ok.
Yes water and milk are best for
growing great kids … juices, rehydration drinks, fizzy and other cans are not for school…save them for home.
Friday Sausage sizzle sausage roll
or pie are all $1.50 please don’t send large denomination notes with children as they often loose the change.
Pita Pit online is ordered every
Tuesday for a Wednesday delivery. Term 3 will see a return to a special treat Halfway House Fish ‘n Chip Wednesday…more info later.
Friends of the School need ‘new parents’ to the school to step forward, step up and assist in the activities that all support and benefit all children called fundraising.
Statistically shown that parents who
have high level of engagement with their child’s school and schooling have awesome outcomes in many ways.
Friends of the School are headed by Vicky Gage (Erika Rm 9 mother) who will speak briefly at Fridays assembly. Contact phone number is 8701239 or email her [email protected].

FoS as a group operates on a shared
task approach and relies on hardworking parents just like you.
Friends of the School are in
desperate need of parents who are able to
assist with the preparation of the Friday
sausage sizzle. Without parents there will be
no sausage sizzle on Fridays…we need
volunteers to assist. Ring Vicki if you can help
