DEAN’S CONSEQUENCE DP’S CONSEQUENCE Serious or on-going behavioural issues in or out of class (e.g. Fighting, DTNP, Bus incident, Truancy, Follow up to a Withdrawal from class, Defiance, Low level continual infractions For students who incur too many (3+) Dean’s or Service Consequences, or do not complete there consequences within a school week or as result of behaviour that led to Withdrawal from class or more serious behaviour. LUNCHTIME 40 MINS THURSDAY AFTER SCHOOL 1 HOUR Caregiver informed via letter that student is expected on Thursday after school Under the direction of a dean, students will either: Clean classroom, workshops & teaching blocks; cleaning whiteboards, desks, chairs, gum, windows, sanding desk tops, etc. Or write out the Hauraki Way or Common Classroom Standards & then reflect on behaviour that led to consequence Under the supervision of a deputy principal, students will either carry out a community service task or a self reflection activity. Failure to attend (or notify of inability to attend) will constitute continual disobedience & is grounds for the most severe of consequences. On the topic of consequences; a reminder that the College will be continuing with the practice of contacting the parents/caregivers of students if they are withdrawal from class. Students are most commonly removed from a class for incidents of continual low level misbehaviour, on-going unacceptable behaviour, defiance or safety concerns. The phone call that a parent/caregiver receives serves as a way of advising home of issues at school, the student centre staff who make this call have little information to hand other than the withdrawal form. If further clarification is sought then contact should be made with a student’s Dean the following day. This allows the Dean the opportunity to investigate the decision to withdrawal a student from class and allows caregivers the opportunity to discuss the incident with their child. Health Matters: Two Health Care visits to be aware of: • The Mighty Mouth Dental service will be in the school from Monday 28 March to 1 April seeing students from all year groups. • Year 10 vision testing is due to take place Tue 29 March for all Year 10 Students. 8

You may (or may not) have heard that I will be finishing my job as the Sport and Recreation Coordinator at HPC on the 4th March of this year. I would just like to take this opportunity to personally thank ALL of those staff members, parents, caregivers and community volunteers who have made my job that much easier over the past 4 years. To take part in sport is in every kiwi kids blood, however the opportunity for the students to take part is due in large to the commitment of the adult population to stick their hand up and say ‘yep – I’ll coach or manage that team, or wash that kit or do the scorebook or umpire or ref’. It has been said before – but it needs to keep being said – sport just wouldn’t happen without volunteers. My request to you is to just keep doing what you are doing so that our young people can thrive in the sporting world. I’m sure that the new Sport and Recreation Coordinator will get the same level of support that I have had from the HPC ‘family’. After all – excellence is out tradition. Thank you. At this time of year there are a lot of winter sports codes and teams looking to start their pre-season trainings, trials and musters. Whilst the actions of coaches and trainers to get their teams physically ready for the demands of the particular winter sport should be commended – it must be remembered that if a student has a commitment to a summer sport then this takes precedence over any winter sport trials, trainings and meetings. Should a student need to be in 2 places at once then they are to go to the summer sport first and then catch up with the staff member concerned with regards to the winter sport. If any students are unsure of who this is then there is a list of the Teacher’s in Charge on the sports noticeboard. A list is also printed in this newsletter for staff. HPC Swimming Champs Another beautifully fine day on the Hauraki Plains greeted the whole junior school as well as those keen seniors for the annual HPC Swimming Champs on Tuesday 8th February. It was great to see the increase in students entering the championship events which makes for some great racing as well as Hapu rivalry. Congratulations to all who took part – particularly to those students who aren’t that keen on swimming but still managed to get at least a point for your HAPU through participation – well done. 9
