End of term message…

We are now at the end of a very busy and successful term. Learners have been settled and teachers have been focussed on ensuring that students are happy and engaged in their learning.  This term teachers and learners have been engaged in several amazing authentic learning experiences across the teams where learners have been able to make learning connections to the world in an authentic context e.g  Zoo, Camp, Jnr. Breakfast, Science Roadshow, Totora Park and the museum to mention just a few.

To our parents and whānau, it is wonderful to see you in our school and thank you for taking part in the many events and opportunities we offer here at Alfriston School. The learners love seeing their parents/whānau involved and this helps to strengthen our positive home/school partnership.

Today we say farewell to Mrs Sarah Locket who is leaving Alfriston and moving to Christchurch so she can be closer to her family and friends.  Mrs Lockett has been an integral part of our school culture,  teaching as both a classroom teacher and most recently a specialist teacher in Dance, Drama and Music.  The Learners love attending these sessions with her.  We wish Sarah the absolute best! 

To all whānau, have a safe and happy holiday break, stay safe and we look forward to another busy and exciting term 2.

If you copy the link below and put it into browser search bar (top of your computer) you should see all the pics.

The terrific staff at camp have sent lots of photos and all are saying the day has been amazing. The tramp sounds like a real highlight with Mrs Aupa’au saying ‘everyone is on a high after the tramp’. I’m sure there will be a lot of food consumed tonight after all the physical activity, and I hope lots of sleep too (thinking of the camp adults there 🙂 ).

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

COMMUNICATION

Alfriston School works hard to ensure parents/caregivers are kept well informed. I ask that you all do a ‘Communication W.O.F.’ 🙂 Please check:

a) That you are receiving emails from us – if not let the office know

b) That you are receiving our text messages – if not let the office know

c) That you have installed our Kiwischools app on your phone.

d) That you are aware of our school website:               

Should you need any help to set up/use any of these forms of communication please let us know. 

LIFELONG LEARNERS

At the end of next week, I will be away from school so that I can attend some Principal’s professional development. I am very grateful to the Alfriston School Board and Mrs Galvin who have supported me in attending these events. 

Attending this learning will allow me to learn alongside educational leaders from around the world. I look forward to gaining new knowledge and insights that I will be able to share on my return. I hope to be inspired and challenged in my thinking so that I continue to reflect and enhance the Alfriston School learning environment. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and School holiday break, and I will see you at the beginning of Term 2.

Student Leadership

Student leadership is an important aspect of school life. Having learners commited to leading and being role models enhances our learning environment. A huge congratulations to the student leaders announced so far (head and deputy leaders and house leaders). Other areas of leadership are being finalised and will be announced very soon.

The process for selecting student leaders at Alfriston School is by student application, collection of student voice and discussions with teachers across the school.  We look for learners who not only demonstrate leadership qualities, but also those who show potential in leadership. We look forward to seeing our leaders actively involved in 2024.
