,

Last year the Ministry of Education and the NZEI negotiated a new teachers’ collective agreement. As part of this

agreement it was agreed that teachers would receive an extra 8 days for planning and implementation of new curriculum

information and also professional development. The 8 days must be taken during 2020 - 2022. One was held earlier in the

year when there was a professional development day for all teachers on the Waimea Plains. The second one will be held

for most primary teachers on the Waimea Plains on Friday 23rd October 2020 – the Friday prior to Labour weekend.

STUDENT COUNCIL

My apologies to Nadia Lourens, in the middle

above. I incorrectly said it was her sister

Chloe who was one of the secretaries for our

Student Council. Sorry Nadia

Every syndicate has been busy focusing on their

own syndicate topic this term. The Senior

syndicate has been studying bridges. They have

looked at the different types of bridges and some

of the famous bridges in the world. Here are

some examples from Rooms 1, 3, 4 and 5.

LOTS OF LEARNING CONTINUES TO HAPPEN

Also here are some excellent sketches of a deer’s head,

sketched by Room 1 children. Mr Neal supplied the deer’s

head – one of his many from home!
