Where has that first month back gone?
It is hard to believe we are into our second month back for 2013. The glorious weather continues however we all know we are in desperate need of some rain, and not just the few drops that fell overnight! The Chiefs continue their winning streak and so do we at TKP. Our inaugural Whanau picnic / meet the teacher evening was reasonably well supported - it was lovely to meet new faces and welcome back old.
A big part of our first 6 weeks of the term has been around the 'Cool School' principles of Peer Mediation. We want all children to be able to use mediation to help solve small issues that arise from time to time. When these issues are beyond child-to-child mediation all staff will follow the same process to ensure there is consistency for all. This programme is designed by the Peace Foundation and more information will be filtered through newsletters and our website to assist you all in understanding what we are striving to achieve.
This coming week is another big one with our Bikewise safety programme on Tuesday preceding our Triathlon on Wednesday. I look forward to seeing many of you here for our exciting event on Wednesday.
For me the last few weeks have been all about ensuring our 2013 Charter documents were complete and submitted to the Ministry of Education as required. I believe our Charter is comprehensive and very clear as to the direction TKP is heading. As always we will be asking for further input from you as the year progresses. These documents will be available on our website very soon, please take the time to read through them.
Keep up the good work supporting your child's education!

Off we go...2013!
Welcome to 2013...after a wonderful holiday period enjoying the beautiful weather and some of our amazing beaches I am refreshed and excited about the year ahead.
A new year and new goals...one of which is to refresh my Blog more regularly with a wider variety of items of interest!
The start to the year has been a very smooth one, long may it continue. It is great to see our new greenhouse erected as part of our EnviroSchools project - thank you to those Lion's members, Rhonda and Rob for their efforts.
Catch you again soon, ka kite

Leading Learning
Next week I have the privilege of attending the Trans Tasman Principal's Conference where the theme for the event is 'Leading Learning'. During these few days I will have the opportunity to listen to many world class presenters while networking with many principals from New Zealand and Australia. I look forward to sharing my experiences and new learning with my staff and continuing to grow TKP as a quality 21st Century Learning Environment.
