Week 7 Term Two

Junior Reports

When you receive your junior student's report at the end of term, you will note we are prioritizing our students’ own learning goals and reflections in their reports, instead of including the more traditional teacher ‘comment’ only. We are doing this to ensure that at the start of a term girls are thinking and talking about what they want to achieve, and then reflecting on their progress in a meaningful way with the aid of their teacher. This term we have also invited teachers to add a reflection where they feel it may be necessary or where a student has not been able to adequately set or reflect upon a goal. 

In addition to the new drive to grow goal setting and reflection habits in our students, we have asked staff to reimagine how they describe their students’ academic achievements and the growth of their important capabilities (habits) which make them better learners. You will note that most subject areas have now created detailed descriptors to explain what being a Novice, Apprentice, Practitioner or Expert means with reference to the subject’s learning focus each term. This is an ongoing process and we are very excited about the work that our staff are doing in this space and look forward to further developments as the year progresses. However, in more general terms, each descriptor can be thought of as follows:

Novice - new to the content and still working on a basic level of understanding and practise of the desired capabilities.
Apprentice - beginning to make progress in their understanding and practise of the desired capabilities.
Practitioner - has a solid grasp of the fundamentals and practises most of the desired capabilities, most of the time.
Expert - is confident and consistent in their understanding of academic content and their practise of desired capabilities.

Thank you for taking the time to read and reflect on these reports.

Year 9 Whānau - Junior Learning Hubs 2022

Well done Te Rōpū Manu Huia

On Monday night our students were invited to open Show Quest...and they did us proud!

Uniform

We are now heading into the colder months.  Please ensure that all students have the correct uniform, so that they are warm and dry, both at school and on the way to and from.  From Term Three all students are to be in correct uniform.  If for any reason, this is impossible for you please contact Amanda Greville ge@hastingsgirls.com

Remember no socks with sandals.

The U Shop has jackets. The shop is open from 3pm until 5pm Monday to Thursday and on Saturday is the 3rd of July. Reminder that the shop is now located at Unit 2, 304 Eastbourne Street West, Hastings.

Student Timetables

From Term Three the Student Centre will only be printing timetables for students who do not have a device.  Students can find their timetable information by signing into Kamar.  If they are unsure on how to do this they can speak with their Ākina Coach.

Creative writing competition

The library is running a short and fun creative writing competition for students and staff. Writing pieces can be funny or serious, any genre, any form and can be written in te reo Māori, Samoan or English. Enter as an individual or submit a collective piece with your class or Ākina group. All pieces are limited to 250 words. Judging is based on the fickle whims of the librarians (English entries), Ms. Iosefo (Samoan entries) and Whaea Evelyn (te reo Māori entries) so the judging shouldn't shape what you write - just write from the heart! There are prizes for winners and spot prizes for participants. Send your piece to wt@hastingsgirls.com by Friday 2 July. Winners will be announced Wednesday 7 July in Week 10.
