SCHOOL WEEKLY NEWSLETTER: - Monday 24th June 2019 Kia ora koutou katoa, With only two weeks to go until the end of term two we still have lots to finish before the break. This Friday we have our senior Rippa team heading to Hamilton for the Waikato Triangular Tournament, two teams will be heading to Paeroa College for the Ki O Rahi and Tapuwae tournament and our Junior Epro 8 team will head to Katikati College for the finals series. Good luck to all participants, remember to play hard, play fair and represent your school and yourself with mana. Tomorrow we take on Matatoki School at basketball. This is a fun game organised for both schools to build relationships and friendly competition amongst each other. Kia kaha! As you are aware the teachers are currently voting to either accept or reject the governments latest collective agreement offer. Voting closes tomorrow. We are hoping to report a positive conclusion to this continuing dispute. I can confirm we have had our annual school audit of accounts and am happy to report that the annual financial statements presented fairly, this means they were free of misstatement or fraud and that there was no risk. Thank You A big thank you to Steve Walmsley for helping with the new ropes that have been added to the maypole. Kids are enjoying having this back in action. Three Way Conferences Thursday 4th July A letter has been sent home today to remind you about the three-way conferences. A chance for your child to share their learning with you. I believe learning is a partnership between, school, child and parents and in order for your children to have every chance of success we need to be all working together. Three-way conferences are an excellent way for you to build an understanding of what is happening at school and why. For this reason, I strongly suggest you make time to see your child's teacher on the 4th July. For our new parents Three Way Conferences entails the following: School finishes at 12.30 pm to enable teachers to organise their classroom in prepartion for the three way conference and have some lunch. There is no supervision of any children from 12.30 p.m. Children are present at the Three Way Conference. Upon receipt of the perferred times from parents, a note will be sent home with the students report confirming the appointment time. If you are unable to attend please inform the school as soon as possible. Buses Thursday 4th July Children who catch Baz’s Taxis will be picked up from school at 12.30 pm. Murphy buses are unable to change their time due to the College run therefore parents of those who catch the Wharepoa/Maratoto Bus will need to be collected from school by 12.30 pm. Children who catch the very late taxis bus will also need to be collected from school by 12.30 pm by their parents or their taxis provider. For all those who either get dropped off at school by parents, or walk/bike will need to be picked up by 12.30 by parents or those who walk/bike will be released to go home at 12.30 pm. If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact the school. Baz Bus Baz Taxis confirmed that this service will be ceasing due to health issues and growing costs for all parents. The final taxi run is Friday 5th July. Baz has asked that all accounts be paid up by this date and wishes to thank the parents and caregivers for their support during this time. He is hoping that someone may purchase the buses and continue the service. As there are a number of students who use this service especially those who live in Paeroa, we are hoping that something can be done, however if there are any ideas please share this with Matura Wayne as soon as possible. Lost Property We still have a large number of items in our lost property box outside the staff room. Parents/caregivers can you please call into School and go through the box. Please note in the last week of term any items left behind and unnamed will be donated to charity. School Uniform It has been decided at this stage that the Direct Group Uniform will service our School uniform. I have attached an order form for parents/caregivers with the prices. If you need to purchase an item please complete the form accordingly and return to school with payment or confirm that you have placed payment into the school account. Orders will be placed once payment has been received. Alternatively you can purchase the maroon top from Postie Plus or the Warehouse along with the navy short/skort or long pants but it will not have our school logo on. Slinks Collection 2019 Firstly we would like to thank Mr Ray Silvester for kindly delivering our farmers slinkies letters, we really appreciate your support in our fundraiser. Thank you also to Jake Perry and Bevan Robinson who have phoned for help however we still have a few slots available. If you were missed and can help please complete the form in the newsletter and send it to school as soon as possible please. Congratulations – Kowhai Award Hikutaia School Supreme award ‘Kowhai Award’ is given to children who demonstrates the school values and strives for excellence. On Friday this award was awarded to Ali Koia-Hamling. Well done Ali, and keep up the great work. Kupu o te wiki – Panui(tia) - Read Principal Wayne Whitney Senior Class: Mrs Robinson, Whaea Emma & Matua Wayne Kia Ora whanau, week 9 already! This week we have a few things going on, with children working on their science fair experiments and getting their observations and conclusions written up. We are asking for a small $2 donation to help off-set the costs of the science boards, if you could please send this in with your child, thank you. We also have groups heading off to play Tapuwae or Ki o rahi at the college on Friday, as well as a group off to play in a rippa rugby tournament. The Year 8s have their individual meetings with Andrew Cameron from Paeroa College on Wednesday also. Letter homework this week is 'D'. We are impressed with the response and quality of work coming back to school. It is awesome to hear families getting involved and challenging each other. Have a great week everyone, Mrs Robinson, Whaea Emma and d Matua Wayne. Room 5 Mrs Donovan Can potatoes or lemon's charge an LED? Can we make our own battery power? We are going to find out the answer to these questions this week, and write about what we've learned. Room five have taped themselves reading books for Room three and four to listen to and I hope to have these up and ready to be watched soon. Room five has been learning how to play Table Tennis, and Lindsay from Project Energize has been teaching the children large and small ball skills. Please check the lost property box as there are many jumpers languishing there. Have a lovely week. Kind Regards, Angela Donovan Room 4: Mr Bax This week we are visiting Te Puru School to see their production of “Little Red Riding Hood”. Please make sure your child has returned the permission forms. We are exploring reactions and are learning to describe them in detail using our senses. Reading books will continue to come home this week for students to practise their reading skills. Have a great week. Room 3: Mrs Cameron This week we are going to Te Puru School to see their Junior production of Little Red Riding Hood on Thursday. If you have not sent the permission slip back, please do so before Wednesday. Children need to bring their car seats to school on Thursday. Last week the children went to Waihi to visit the mine and museum. They had a great day. Thank you Jasmine for providing transport and supervision. We are working on our 3D model of the mine this week in readiness for sharing next week. Library books need to be returned this week and mid-year reports will be sent home with your child on Friday. Have a great week.

Each year we are able to collect the ‘slinks’ for Wallace Corporation. This is a great fundraiser for the school bringing in around $4000 each year. It involves a couple of parents driving around local farms with a trailer and picking up their ‘slinks’ (expired 1/ calves) and dropping them to a trailer on Ferry Road. Each run takes about 1 to 1 2 hours. The more volunteers we have means you should be rostered on every 2 weeks, so we need all the help we can get to spread the workload. Please have a look at the slip below and return to the school with what suits you. You can just call into the office and let Karen know or text. If you don’t have a trailer or are new to this, we will match you up with someone who knows the ropes. If you would like to be paired with someone specific just let us know.

Coromandel is supplied on a spur off a hard tee connection at Kaimarama and does not have its own dedicated 66kV supply circuit. Historically, the area has always been exposed to long duration outages particularly during extreme weather conditions. Proposed solution Powerco propose to install a new, ≈4km, 110kV-capable underground cable between Kaimarama & Whitianga on road reserve of State Project solution overview Highway 25. This will resolve the capacity constraint between Kaimarama and Whitianga supplying load to the three substations. It will also create a new dedicated 66kV circuit for Coromandel through the removal of the hard tee connection at Kaimarama.

    2015-16 Speed Limit Review

    1 2015/16 Speed Limit Review Memo Information TO Infrastructure Committee FROM Sam Edlin - Roading Engineer DATE 12 May 2016 SUBJECT 2015/16 Speed Limit Review 1 Purpose of Report For the Infrastructure Committee to consider the proposed speed limits on Ferry Road and Hikutaia Factory Road, Hikutaia and Hikuai Settlement Road, Hikuai and provide a recommendation to Council. 2 Background Speed limits around New Zealand are currently calculated using the Land Transport Rule - Setting of Speed Limits 2003 (the Speed Limit Rule). The objective of the Speed Limit rule is to contribute to a safe and efficient road network by: Establishing speed limits of 50km/h in urban traffic areas and 100km/h on rural roads and motorways. Authorising road controlling authorities to designate urban traffic areas, to set speed limits other than 50km/h on urban roads and less than 100km/h on rural roads, and to set temporary speed limits associated with work on or near the road and for special events. Promoting national uniformity in speed limits by requiring road controlling authorities to apply a consistent method to translate national speed limits policy into a safe and appropriate speed limit for any given road. A safe and appropriate speed limit is one that: Is regarded as reasonable by drivers and residents. Matches the instinctive driving speed of the responsible driver as reflected by the 85th percentile measured speed Takes into account perceived, real and concealed hazards. Is willingly enforced by police (i.e. it is not expected that drivers will ignore the speed limits). Is consistent with national speed policies.

The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

Last week saw us appreciating the staff here at Hikutaia School, a great week and thank you to all those who participated by appreciating them. I wish Whaea Emma’s soccer teams all the best in tomorrow’s Soccer tournament in Thames. Thank you to the parents who have offered to help with supervision and or transport. Due to the outbreak of Measles in New Zealand we need to ensure that our immunisation register is up to date so that we can act quickly and efficiently if a case is diagnosed here in Hikutaia.

If your child’s immunisation has changed since they first started here please let Karen know as soon as possible. This week I am away attending a three day conference (Hui) in Rotorua. I will be back in School on Thursday, so if there are any issues please do not hesitate and see Mrs. Cameron. We have a few activities happening this week and next so please continue to read on.

    TCDC Community Study Report Thames 11-6-10

    TCDC Heritage Review Project Coromandel Peninsula Community Board Heritage Study - Thames - Dr Ann McEwan Heritage Consultancy Services Hamilton 11 June 2010 Executive Summary This study is intended to assist the Thames-Coromandel District Council in its forthcoming review of the District Plan. Historic heritage recommendations specific to the Thames Community Board area are provided here for consideration by the Council and discussion by local iwi and other members of the community. This report should be read in conjunction with the Coromandel Peninsula Thematic History and Consultant’s Summary Recommendation Report (2010), also prepared by Heritage Consultancy Services. In them a thematic approach has been taken to compiling historical information in a format that is best suited to identifying and interpreting historic heritage resources in the district. The principal recommendation made within this report is that the historic heritage resources of Thames and surrounding areas should be protected, actively managed and interpreted by the council on behalf of the community. Whilst scheduling of some historic buildings, sites and places on the District Plan is desirable, heritage values can also be conserved on council reserves and the DoC estate. The history of the locality may also be recorded and disseminated by the Thames Library, in partnership with The Treasury and The Coromandel Heritage Trust. Historic heritage resources in the area can be enhanced or undermined by new development, whether undertaken by the council or private landowners. It is therefore desirable that the history of the area is promoted within council and throughout the wider community in order that the future of local area settlements and their environs is based on an understanding of the past.
