FROM THE PRINCIPAL

We have always said attendance is a learning issue, meaning if a

you aren't at school, you can’t learn per se.

This correlation has been re-enforced by some recent research

from the Ministry of Education about achievement in NCEA.

That is with each additional absence there is a reduction in the

number of credits they attain.

Quoting from the research “students who are absent even

5-10% of the time obtain fewer NCEA credits than those with

slightly higher attendance”. In fact, the research states “there

is no safe level of non attendance!”

But the most interesting part from the research with regard to

absenteeism/non attendance is the impact on a student’s

wellbeing. The research found that students who skipped

school were more likely to suffer from school work related

anxiety, sense of belonging, bullying and motivation.

Students who do not skip school report the best wellbeing

outcomes.

Clearly regular attendance is important. This is something we

do in a number of ways. Your support is invaluable, particularly

in light of the research. When you think about promoting and

encouraging girls to attend, every day is another secret to

academic success. Such a small thing for such a big impact.

Nga Mihi,

Yvonne Browning

PLC’s—Personal Learning Conferences, Monday, 30 March

The first Personal Learning Conferences for the year will be on Monday, 30 March, mark it in your diaries, as this is an invaluable

time for us all to work together to support our girls up the Poutama. The Poutama is a Maori metaphor that helps us to

articulate that learning takes time, and requires input from many as well as ourselves, to help us gain our own personal

excellence. It helps us to recognise that learning is a struggle, it is not always easy, and we need to develop resiliency in our

learning. Students are not required to be at school on this day but must attend their PLC at the appointed time.

UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY—Women in Engineering Residential Programme

In January I was lucky enough to be a part of the WiE CAN, Women in Engineering Residential Programme at the University of Canterbury.

This was an awesome week gaining hands on experience in the Engineering field as well as getting a glimpse of what University life would be like.

The week consisted of doing workshops each day which had a specific focus on one of the Engineering disciplines such as Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Chemical and Software Engineering. We also got to compete in challenges. One of them was an Amazing Race around the campus which helped us to see all the facilities the University has to offer. Another saw us programming a mechanical hand to play the piano. This was a challenging task but it was extremely rewarding seeing the skills we had learnt have a practical application.

We were fortunate enough to get to stay at Rochester and Rutherford, a Residential Hall of the University. It was a great way to get a taste of student life and meet other girls from all over New Zealand on the Programme.

I would like to thank Mrs Ramsay for her encouragement to apply for WiE CAN, and the University of Canterbury for this wonderful opportunity. It really did open my eyes to careers in Engineering so I would thoroughly recommend girls in Year 12 this year to give it a go next year!

TALK @ 10 It’s been a very busy time for our Year 10 Students, with many sports and cultural activities underway. Our students have now established routines and are looking forward to learning in their new classes. Parents and caregivers will soon be able to access their daughters Early Indicator Reports. In addition, we have our Personal Learning Conferences on Monday the 30th of March, so it’s now a good time for our Year 10 students to reflect on their progress so far and examine the goals they have been setting for themselves. As previously stated, research into goal setting has been shown that it can greatly improve a student's achievement at high school. Cyber Safety

There have lately been a number of news reports about cyber-safety. This includes Cyber-stalking and a general concern about social networks and platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Tik Tok. We are often asked for assistance and advice, and have therefore listed various actions which may assist both parents and students to combat this growing problem. 1. Maintain an open door policy. Girls are often too scared to report bullying incidents. They may feel embarrassed, frightened, and even guilty that they did something wrong. Some students are simply too scared to tell their parents for fear of their cell phone and Internet privileges being taken away. 2. Don’t overreact. Try to evaluate the situation and be supportive of your daughter. 3. Ask questions. Cyberbullying is not a joke. Find out if your daughter believes she is in actual physical danger. If a real threat has been made or there was already an assault, contact the police immediately. 4. Be understanding. Remember that words do hurt. Cyberbullying can be extremely cruel and more traumatizing than in-person bullying because it might be anonymous and it occurs 24/7. Your daughter may be truly suffering emotionally. Tell them that they are not alone. 5. Never retaliate. Responding to a cyberbully is not recommended, as it can sometimes create more friction and increase the harassing incidents. Encourage your daughter to avoid retaliation whenever possible as well. 6. Save the evidence. If things do escalate, you will need digital or hard copy records of the harassment to present to the police. 7. Monitor communications. Learn who your child is communicating with both online and via cell phone. Watch closely for the warning signs that cyberbullying is continuing or becoming more frequent. 9. File a complaint. If the harassment takes place via cell phone, trace the number and contact the cell phone carrier. If the bullying occurs online, you can contact the site’s administrator or Internet service provider. 10. Get the “Find Help” Facebook app. This is a tool for users to easily report inappropriate behavior or content online. Girls can bookmark the app and then click “Find Help” to be directed to useful phone numbers and links for reporting incidents. Key messages about cyber bullying, • cyber bullying can take a number of forms:

– mean or offensive messages – being bombarded by a large volume of messages – offensive or upsetting photo or video messages – threatening messages – persistent unwanted messages

• There are steps you and your daughter can take to protect them from mobile phone bullying and there are also things you can do if

bullying occurs or persists. • If your daughter is receiving unwanted messages and the like on their mobile phone, you can call toll free 0508 NETSAFE (0508 638 723),

Email [email protected], complete an online contact form or Text ‘Netsafe’ to 4282.

• You can also follow Netsafe NZ on social media for the latest online safety news, advice and tips. Netsafe’s contact centre is available from 8am – 8pm weekdays and 9am – 5pm weekends and public holidays.

NetSafe, the programme of New Zealand's ISG, has cybersafety education for all New Zealanders - children, parents, schools, community organisations and businesses. The ISG has been designated the Ministry of Education's 'agent of choice' for cybersafety education in New Zealand. This is an independent non-profit organisation whose members represent a range of organisations including the New Zealand Police and the Ministry of Education.

We thought it would be valuable in this newsletter to share some important NCEA information.

NCEA Information

Watch this You tube video “How NCEA works” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9-6_KNREJg to find out how NCEA works and the key vocabulary. Total credits required to pass is 80 and your daughter needs 10 literacy and 10 numeracy credits that come from a variety of subjects.

• A booklet “Guide to NCEA” will be given to your daughter to bring home in the near future.

• www. nzqa.govt.nz is important for NCEA information, including exam timetables.

• Our School Exams will be week 6 of Term 3 – 24th – 28th August (Winter Tournament week 7 31st August – 4th September)

This is a chance to find out where learning is at and preparation for the real thing. If a student is absent for exams then they will gain a derived grade from school exams.

• Ensure your daughter is using her school email, any classroom online resources e.g. TEAMS or Google classroom and you and her can access MUSAC edge.

Academic Tutor AT – is your first port of call via phone or email

• Friday afternoon is our dedicated time for Academic Tutoring.

At this time we will be focusing on getting organised, planning schedules to improve time management, study techniques, using My mahi – an on line app to track learning, goals and career focus, study and homework time as well as reading.

• The first PLC for the year is Monday, 30 March all day. Booking information is in this newsletter.

We have had a positive start to the year and our students are settling into the learning at Year 11 and NCEA Level 1 & 2. The work load will increase as the weeks go by so it is essential your daughter is here, on time, meeting deadlines and focused on her personal excellence.

Please contact your daughter’s AT or us if you have any concerns. We look forward to a successful year for your daughter.

Y13 Camp 12-14 February, Borland Lodge

85 Year 13 girls and 7 staff set off on the Wednesday for their eagerly awaited Year 13 camp. Weather conditions were perfect

throughout the three days which allowed the girls to make the most of outdoor living. Team rotations in House and AT groups

allowed for girls to experience kayaking, abseiling, rock climbing, tramping, sustainable portrait making, master chef, quiz night,

skits and chants, low ropes and academic pathway preparation.

Purchasing of food and group cooking was taken care of by the girls. Overall a fantastic

opportunity to start the year building relationships and House spirit (not even the mice

could dampen the enthusiasm)!
