So great to be getting to know our new Mathletes and to hear them delight in their new learning. By ensuring they can understand new concepts, not just know them, the students are thriving in their discoveries.
Trials for the Raroa Chess Teams are over - the teams will be announced this week as the inter-school competition is coming up in Week 9 of this term.
Teams for the Tournament of Minds have been confirmed. This year, we are entering three teams - congrats to all students selected. Sadly, two students had to decline due to a clash with the Scouts' Gang show - we will miss you but welcome two team members from the waiting list.
Great to have the Year 6 students from our contributing schools visiting. Thanks to those students with strengths in leadership who showed them around.
Monday night found me invited to the Board of Trustees meeting to report back on the Gifted Conference in Auckland that Angela Stanley and I attended. The Board are very supportive of the way the school as a whole are supporting our gifted students and developing their talents. And were very interested in out key 'takeaways'.
Until next week,
Lynne
