Term Two Planning

The Calendar Ahead

Here is a copy of the events and trips for Waihi College for next term.  It looks to be another very busy time here at school.  At eleven weeks this is the largest of the terms this year.  We've scheduled our time to have something of a mid term break - we've put a teacher only day on the Friday before the long weekend of  Queens Birthday.  The other "day zero's" are Anzac day (which is significant this year as this is the centenary of the Battle for Gallipoli) and our Parent Teacher Interview day).  

Of course we have our focus here in Waihi on Matariki in week nine.  The focus of the big questions for this term are...

  • Year 7 & 8 - Why do we have stories?
  • Year 9 - How has technology changed youth culture?
  • Year 10 - What does it take to make a healthy community?

There are several major cultural events happening this term.  The junior school production in week seven, spirit days in week ten and the rugnet tour in week eleven.  

The SLT are aware that staff were feeling the pressure on learning last term with the amount of 'EOTC' happening.  Hopefully this information can better inform your planning.  




This post is just for your information and planning.
