4 5 Kia Ora Koutou, Greetings 6 7 It has been another great week at school and 8 fantastic to see the students so engaged in 9 their learning and involved in school life. We 10 have been really pleased to see our students 11 embracing our school values of 12 whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and Visual Arts 13 kaitiakitanga and it is always lovely to see 14 them demonstrating wonderful manners around school - it creates 15 a nice school environment conducive to learning. 16 17 I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our boys’ and 18 girls’ teams that went to the WIMS Football Competition this week. 19 Both teams competed extremely well and put their best foot 20 forward on the day. The boys team made it to the semi-finals and 21 came fourth place overall in the boys’ division, while the girls made 22 the finals and went on to secure first place in the girls’ 23 competition! Well done to both teams - you represented FIS to the 24 highest standards of sportsmanship, teamwork and commitment. 25 A huge thank you to both the teams’ coaches, Brendon Keats Waka Huia (Treasure Box)26 (girls) and Ross Moratti (boys) and a big thank you also to Mrs 27 Zena Taylor for helping on the day. Thank you also to all of the 28 parents and caregivers that were able to supply transport and 29 support the teams - it is much appreciated. 30 31 Please don’t forget to get your tickets for our school production, 32 Beauty and the Beast, taking place in week five of this term. Last 33 year, due to Covid-19, we were unable to proceed with our school 34 production, which means we are even more super excited about 35 this upcoming event. The students have been busy rehearsing and 36 I know they would love to see as many of you there as possible. 37 Ceramic Art 38 All the best to those playing sports on the weekend. Also all the 39 best to our kapa haka group that are meeting for a noho and the 40 production team who are rehearsing on the weekend also. 41 42 Have a lovely weekend everyone. 43 44 Ngaa mihi 45 46 Angela Walters 47 Acting Principal 48 49 SCHOOL CALENDAR – TERM TWO
