HEART Reflection on Learning
Tech Arts - Thursday
Year 8’s continue to attend Tech this term at 8.30am on a Thursday morning. Our year 7's will start classes at school at the normal time of 9am with their tech group and go off to tech at around 12pm. Classes change to new rotations over the course of the year. While back at school, children participate in a variety of subjects such as Dance, Music, Science, Spanish, Speechcraft and Digital Technology.
Swimming
It’s that time of year again, with the sun shining and the warm temperatures. We run swimming lessons 4 times per week, with lunchtime free swims most days (weather dependent).
If your child is unable to swim they must have a valid reason (accident or illness) and this be communicated by email or note to the class teacher with the period of time they are exempt for.
Things to remember:
Students are encouraged to bring their togs and swim as this is part of our Te Rapa School Physical Education Programme.
Swimming and water safety is a compulsory part of student education in NZ.
If children have been sick or have open sores they are not to enter the water until they are better.
All bandages and plasters that will come off in water are not to enter the pool.
Students need togs (girls one piece and boys swimming material shorts), a towel, a warm sweatshirt for after their swim, goggles (optional), a swimming cap (optional), sun block, sun hat.
