Week 1, Term 3

This week is Week ONE. Welcome back to Term Three! Can hardly believe where the year has gone!!  This week we welcome Mr Thornley, a new Deputy Principal to Maeroa Intermediate. Make sure you make Mr Thornley feel welcome as you see him around the school.

I hope you all had a relaxing holiday and are refreshed and ready for another term. Lots happening this term and there are only 9 weeks. Oratory is our focus for the first 3 weeks and we will also be starting our Sound / Communication Unit.

Jewel, Sage and Tegan are going to Sports Camp in Week 6 and Brooke is heading to Japan in Week 8. We have Specialised Programmes again this term in Week 7 and we will be practising for Athletics towards the end of the term.

Lots of Inter-Intermediate competitions are happening this term – Cross Country, Badminton, Rugby, Netball and Basketball. Lots of other opportunities as well – Chess competition, Kids for Kids concert, Drama and Orchestra /Band days, Oratory finals and a team Maths competition as well as Incoming Students evenings.

I hope that you are focused on achieving the goals you have set for the second half of the year and know exactly what you need to do to meet your goals. Remember to make the most of the opportunities given to you.
