Term 3 - Welcome back!

I hope everyone's had a great 2 weeks away from Raroa!  Here's what's ahead...

The Mathletes timetable is the same as last term.  This week, Teams 1, 3, 4 & 5 will be completing assessments of last term's learning, with Team 2 beginning their new discoveries in algebra.  Mathswell is coming up so we will be asking for students who are interested in trialling for that.


Tournament of Minds students are beginning their 6 week challenge on Monday.  We wish them all the best as they work towards Tournament Day on 2 September.

Ext(reme) Reading and Ext(reme) Writing continue this term.  The writers will be focusing on how to present their Slam Poems, ready for sharing them with family and friends in an upcoming evening.  


Three more weeks for Science Fair students to complete writing up their projects and to prepare their presentation boards. These will be on display at Raroa later in the term, after the NIWA Fair.

Block courses on offer later in the term:   

• Philosophy for GATE students 
• Springfire for the Year 8 students from Teams 1,2 and 5 (Learning about Giftedness)

THIS WEEK:  Tawa Exchange (Friday)
                    Parent Info Evening: Sexuality Education (Tuesday)
NEXT WEEK:  Student-led Conferences (Tuesday 31)
