In plain language, that means we entered a spelling bee, but it took two years for our prizes to arrive. Way back in 2019, we entered the New Zealand Spelling Bee. Seven of our students made the semi-finals, but on the day there was a snowstorm. The road to Dunedin was closed and we couldn’t compete. We asked for our students to go straight through to the 2020 semis without needing to go through another heat. Then there was a lockdown. Picture our surprise when in Term 1 this year a box arrived at the school with certificates and prizes for the successful students. Ironically, all of these students are now too old to compete in this year’s competition. Luckily the school has some new contenders, Above, left to right: Benjamin Elder, Sewmi and hopefully this time we’ll Dissanayaka, Noah Fahey and Jess Page (seated) get the chance to compete nationally.

On the first Monday of the school holidays a group of intrepid trampers left Invercargill for the golden shores of Masons Bay on Stewart Island. The goal was to tramp through to Rakeahua on the Southern Circuit. This was a Duke of Edinburgh Gold qualifying tramp for Brianna Loan. She was accompanied on this tramp by Florence McKenzie, and Callum Stratford, Ella Dougherty and Natasha Lewis used this as Silver qualifying tramps. Tim Loan and Clint Brown also came on this epic adventure. The flight into Masons was windy so instead of landing by the Masons Bay Hut as we intended we landed down at Kilbride. The pilot did a low fly past of the beach and then came back to land. Poor Mrs Brown is not a good flyer and found this manoeuvre a little scary to say the least. Landing at this end of the beach worked in our favour as we had organised to camp on the lawn of the Kilbride Homestead so we were almost there. We were really lucky that 2 very kind hunters were using Kilbride and allowed us to access the house to heat water etc. Being able to cook inside was a bit of a blessing. We used this day to walk down to the Gutter. A few years ago a pod of Pilot Whales stranded on Masons so we saw a lot of whale bones scattered along the beach. It was a big reminder at the harshness and remoteness of the landscape we were in. The wind was pretty strong and walking to The Gutter felt like more of a sandblast. Potentially good for the skin, but hard on the eyes. Exploring this part of the Island was a highlight and even the wind and rain couldn’t put us off. We had an early night in our tents as we wanted to leave early the next day to arrive in Doughboy so we could spend time exploring the area. We were lucky that we heard kiwi calling outside our tents however we were too lazy to get up and have a look. Tuesday saw us backtrack along Masons Bay beach to the start of the Southern Circuit track to Doughboy Bay. This track started off beautifully meandering through beautiful native bush and over some sand dunes. Then we struck the mud. Stewart Island is notorious for mud and this track was no exception. Mud could inevitably waiting patiently, often with a phone out, to capture and be demoralising and soul destroying but when you are knee laugh at those behind them trying to navigate it. Many classic one deep and stuck in it, it actually becomes quite funny. You knew liners came about because of the mud. They are only funny to those when a good mud pile was coming because someone would be of us who were there, but many many hours of laughter came on the back of some of these mud puddles. The track up to Adams Hill was a mixture of a track, a goat track, a river, a swamp and a river track mud swamp. The top of Adams Hill gave us extensive views over Masons Bay and beyond and just made us appreciate how vast Stewart Island is. The tops are another kind of swamp. The kind that you could disappear in and never be seen again. We skillfully navigated the Loan Pass and the 2nd Loan Pass (named by the Loans funnily enough) The tramp down into Doughboy was quite challenging. Again we weren’t sure whether it was a swamp, a track, a goat track or a river, or a combination of these all. It took a lot longer to get to Doughboy than we anticipated so we didn’t get to explore the way we wanted. We did, however, visit the cave that was home to a Japanese lady for a year or so as she was hiding from authorities. She must have been one tough lady to live there for that amount of time. We had the hut to ourselves that night and again were lulled to sleep by the call of the Kiwi that again we were too lazy to go and see. We left early for our hike to Rakeahua and we knew it was going to be a long day. The first few hours was a gnarly up hill. We were often wading through mid calf deep water as we walked up the hill. 8 The views of Doughboy were stunning. I’d like to go back one mention that there was swamp and mud? Probably not. day and spend more time there. The tops were a mixture of We had a hut afternoon where we played cards, made wrap mud and swamp you could disappear in. Walking through this pizzas over the fire and just hung out. Again there were a lot definitely builds character. of laughs and by now the nicknames and the track banter had As we walked down into Rakeahua Valley we were able to enjoy really set in. some stunning untouched Rimu forest. We all felt very blessed The next morning we had a water taxi pick us up at 10.30 to that we could enjoy this environment. We had seen no other take us back to Oban. We had fish and chips for lunch and fish trampers so far and very much felt alone in the world. There and chips for dinner. Well earned in my opinion. That night we were several small river crossings that meant our boots would did take the time to go Kiwi spotting and were rewarded with get clean, however, in true Island style within 10m we would be seeing 3 Kiwi. This was awesome for those who have never in knee deep mud. The last few km of this day was relentless seen a Kiwi in the wild before. We camped at Stewart Island swamp. On tired legs it was a huge energy suck so we were very backpackers that night in the pouring rain but by then we were very glad to see the hut at Rakeahua. hardened intrepid trampers so took it in our stride. There were two other trampers in the hut that night so we Our adventure ended on Saturday when we caught the first arrived at a beautifully warm hut and company. The hut only has boat back to Bluff.

Are your blinders on?

The Are Your Blinders On? campaign is to support parents to talk with other parents, and help parents have those equally awkward conversations with their children about drinking. Southland has an alcohol problem. With the highest rate of alcohol-related harm in the country, many adolescents are among the people who are personally affected by this problem.

Please visit our facebook page or website for tips on supporting your children.

On the 17, 18, and 19th March, the New Zealand Marching Championships were held at the Edgar Centre in Dunedin. Teams from all over New Zealand attended this competition including four teams from Invercargill. Hargest students Jorja McIntosh, Meah Ayto, Lily Potter, Emma Gray, Paige King, Paityn Weller and Ella King make up part of the Southern Stars Marching Team, and they represented Southland for the first time as marchers in the Under 16 grade.

After a beautifully executed March on Friday’s qualifying day, they placed in the Championship Grade, which is made 21 up of the top 6 teams out of the 13 in their grade. The competition is made up of three phases - review and inspection, technical and display. On Saturday they placed 6th for their Technical March, 5th for their Display and overall, they were 5th in the New Zealand Championship.

Consistent school attendance is very important. While attendance is excellent for many of our children, we also have many whose rate is below 80%. Obviously parents are making good choices when keeping children at home for justified reasons such as illness or bereavement. However, we do have children not attending for other or unexplained reasons, which impacts negatively on their learning. “Every day matters” is a phrase used by the Ministry of Education to reinforce the idea that the best thing for learning is to be at school every day, and they deem normal attendance to be anywhere over 90%, allowing days for children to be away from school for legitimate reasons. Children who attend school with this consistency are more likely to develop great social behaviours, pro-social skills, as well as learning skills. This table shows the impact of various attendance rates:

175 Non-School 175 days to spend on family time, holidays, visits, Days A Year shopping, appointments

9 days lost 19 days lost 29 days lost (half a term) 9 days lost 9 days lost (a full term) 190 days of 181 days of 171 days of 161 days of 152 days of 143 days of education education education education education education (maximum) 100% 95% 90% 85% 80% 75%

Good: best chance of success Worrying: more difficult Serious Concern: significant to make progress barrier to learning

Contacting the School It is vital that parents/caregivers contact the school to let us know before 9:30am if their child is absent, with explanation, so that we know every child’s whereabouts from a health and safety point of view. A reminder that we have multiple ways for parents and caregivers to contact us: School App; Email; Phone (03 2176129 extn 205.)

Foreseen Absences If you know that your child will not be attending school, please let us know details including date(s) and reasons, to help us keep our records accurate. If the absence is foreseen to be longer than 3 days, permission will need to be applied for. Your support in helping us ensure the best possible attendance for learning and success at school is greatly appreciated.

18 ICAS English & Mathematics Competition 2021 At the Senior Campus

2021 International Competition and Assessment for Schools (ICAS) competitions are an excellent way for all students to take on a challenge and to gain valuable experience in an external testing situation. This test can help with preparation for exams and assessment activities.

All students receive a certificate and an individual student report indicating which questions they answered correctly and their score compared with the rest of the students tested. The student report is useful for highlighting strengths and weaknesses and indicating areas to work on. The ICAS certificate provides a valuable addition to a student’s CV.

• English: entries close Friday 2 July, cost of each assessment: $18.40 • Mathematics: entries close Friday 9 July, cost of each assessment: $16.00
