Three-Way Goal Setting Conferences
This week we will have Three-Way Goal Setting Conferences for Parent/Student/Teacher.
Students and their parent(s) need to make an appointment to attend a 10-minute conference with the child's teacher on one of these two days.
Appointments available
Tuesday 3 August 3.10pm - 6pm
Wednesday 4 August 3.10pm - 6pm
How to make a booking
Bookings are now open. How do parents make a booking for their child's Three-Way Conference?
Via the following link and enter the code aemzc
Via the links button on our School App - select School Interviews - enter the code aemzc
Please note: If you are late for your appointment you might be asked to rebook for another time. This is because the class teacher needs to consider the bookings made by other families and keep to the times they have booked for.
We look forward to seeing you and your child at the conference.
Our Learning
Literacy = sounds in sequence.
We are looking at how we use sounds, small words and bits of words that we know to make our reading and spelling easier.
Numeracy = reading the problem. We are reading word problems to look for clues about how to solve. You can talk to your children about words that could mean add (join, more…) or subtract (take away, minus, disappear…).
Religious Education = Jesus
We will be listening to stories about Jesus, how he showed love for others and how we show love today.
We have a final session with Katie Knapman and Harold in the Life Education caravan this week. We are working on keeping ourselves safe and being gentle with our words.

KEEPING OURSELVES SAFE Programme
Kia ora koutou.
I would like to acknowledge St Mary’s school for its ongoing commitment to delivering the Keeping Ourselves Safe (KOS) programme. KOS is a personal safety programme that teaches students vital interpersonal skills in different situations. You can find out about the programme at: https://www.police.govt.nz/advice-services/personal-community-safety/school-portal/resources/successful-relationships/kos
The programme will be delivered by classroom teachers from 23rd August. There will be a community hui at St Mary's School on Monday 9 August, 5.15-6pm, in Room 14, where I will explain what the programme entails, and share some tips about keeping your young ones safe. You are encouraged to attend.
Please take time to speak with your children about what they are learning in the programme. It will also give you an opportunity to reinforce your family’s values and expectations.
If you have any questions please contact me Vivienne.Sutton@police.govt.nz

Assumption of Mary Mass
ON Sunday August 15th all parishes around NZ will be celebrating the Assumption of Mary and during the month we are focusing on Mary and during this time rededicating our country to Mary. The link above gives you an insight into why ‘Mary’.
At our 10am Mass here in Rotorua Father Thomas has invited our parents and children to come to Mass and the procession around the church and school after the Mass. If families can’t come to Mass at 10.00am they are invited to be part of the procession and cup of tea after.
