Dear Parents<br />
Kia Ora tatou.<br />
As we approach the end of the school year it is timely to reflect on another<br />
successful year and to look ahead to new challenges and initiatives in 2010. This<br />
year <strong>Kamo</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> experienced significant and unexpected roll growth which<br />
was well over the Ministry of Education predictions. This meant we faced a<br />
number of challenges in terms of staffing and timetabling. It is to the credit of<br />
everyone concerned that these were overcome with very little disruption to the<br />
teaching and learning programmes.<br />
Senior students are currently sitting their NCEA external assessments. In order to try and ensure that these<br />
are given proper focus we have moved our Senior Prizegiving from its usual date of early <strong>November</strong> to<br />
Monday 7 December. This key event in the school calendar will now be held at Forum North starting at<br />
6.30pm. I encourage all parents of senior students to be there and join with the staff in celebrating the<br />
achievements of our young people.<br />
This year we have celebrated many successes in the Arts, Sport and Culture. The range and nature of these<br />
achievements is evidence of the rich diversity which is <strong>Kamo</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Our commitment to educating<br />
the whole child is also reflected in these outcomes.<br />
Next year we will continue to work toward this goal. The introduction of the Te Kotahitanga Programme of<br />
teacher professional development and the changes to our daily schedule are two initiatives aimed at<br />
raising student achievement, improving academic guidance, and building stronger, more effective<br />
staff/student relationships. The investment of additional time in Whanau class will help provide for<br />
students a significant adult, improved advice and guidance, and more effective communication. This time<br />
will also be used for assemblies and all administrative functions, thus ensuring teaching/curriculum time is<br />
safeguarded.<br />
Over the next few weeks we will hold our Arts and Sports Awards. Congratulations to all those who are<br />
acknowledged at these events. The talent on display at all our school events is remarkable and is a<br />
reflection of the hard work staff and students have put in during the year.<br />

January Mail Out<br />
As most of you will be aware we will be sending out a newsletter in mid‐January 2010, which will contain all<br />
of the necessary information regarding the start of the 2010 school year, including option/fees forms and<br />
stationery lists. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that there may be more than one<br />
option/fees forms and stationery list in the envelope (individually named) if you have more than one child<br />
attending <strong>Kamo</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. However, the envelope will only state the eldest child’s name. Please also<br />
advise the office as soon as possible of any change of address during this time.<br />
Thank you to everyone who has helped make <strong>2009</strong> such a successful year for <strong>Kamo</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Have a<br />
safe and relaxing Christmas break.<br />

CLEARANCE INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Seniors<br />
Clearance forms were issued on Monday 2 <strong>November</strong> <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
1 Clearance should have already begun by:<br />
- Paying all outstanding fees<br />
- Returning all borrowed equipment<br />
- Returning all text books<br />
- Returning all library books<br />
- Returning all sports uniforms<br />
- Getting teacher’s signature to confirm clearance for that<br />
subject<br />
2 Senior clearance day is on Tuesday 8 December <strong>2009</strong> ‐ 9.30am to 1.30pm.<br />
All senior students must come to school on this morning to clear (they may wear mufti). If your child<br />
has started a job, please make sure they inform their employer that they are required at school for this<br />
purpose at this time. The Dean will issue end of year reports, year book (and testimonials for Year 13<br />
students) if they have received the “all clear”.<br />
3 If a student is unable to attend on Tuesday 8 December because of another school commitment, e.g.<br />
DOE trip, exam or another circumstance beyond their control (having to work is NOT), they must see<br />
Mrs Delaney with a written explanation and their clearance form as soon as possible.<br />
Juniors<br />
Clearance forms will be issued on Monday 30 <strong>November</strong> <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
1. Begin clearing now by:<br />
- Paying all outstanding fees<br />
- Returning all borrowed equipment<br />
- Returning all text books<br />
- Returning all library books<br />
- Returning all sports uniforms<br />
2 Between Monday 30 <strong>November</strong> and Friday 4 December students should get their teachers’ signatures<br />
to confirm clearance. If there is a department stamp or an “all clear” they do not require their<br />
teacher’s signature for that subject.<br />
3 If the clearance form is lost, please ask the <strong>School</strong> Office for another copy.<br />
4 Once the clearance form is “All Clear”, and they are the eldest child at <strong>Kamo</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> and the Parent<br />
Contribution fee for this year has been paid, students can collect a year book. These will be available at<br />
the <strong>School</strong> Office at interval and lunchtime from Tuesday 8 December. Students must bring their<br />
clearance form with them.<br />
www.kamohigh.school.nz
5 Once students have completed the clearance process and received their year book, they must hand<br />
their clearance form into their Whanau teacher. If the form is “All Clear” they will be issued with their<br />
end of year report after Year 10 Prizegiving on Wednesday 9 December or Year 9 Prizegiving on<br />
Thursday 10 December.<br />
All library and subject books must be returned to school as soon as possible. Far too many students do<br />
not regard this as important and as result the cost of replacement has an impact on the school budget.<br />

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS DEPARTMENT<br />
It seems I am always farewelling students. Their time with us passes so quickly. We had a meeting last<br />
week to say our goodbyes and there were plenty of tears shed. The students all feel that their time here at<br />
<strong>Kamo</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> and in New Zealand is the highlight of their lives and we are glad to be able to offer this<br />
programme for them.<br />

you are looking to brighten up your backyard before summer then come along to the Garden Art class and<br />

YEAR 10 CORE CLASS CHANGES<br />
As students move through the school from Year 9 into Year 10, it is sometimes necessary to make changes<br />
to the composition of the core classes. This is done primarily to maintain a balance in numbers but also to<br />
integrate the new students who have enrolled at Year 10. This means there is a likelihood your child may<br />
find themselves in a different core class from the one they were a part of in Year 9. I understand that some<br />
students may find this unsettling to discover at the start of a new school year, but I would urge them to<br />
“take it in their stride” and look for the positive outcomes this change can offer to them.<br />
I look forward to getting to know the students who will be in Year 10 next year, and trust they have a very<br />
rewarding year as they prepare for NCEA in 2011!<br />

LEADERSHIP STUDENTS STEP UP<br />
Several different groups of students from the Whanau Leadership Programme have stepped up into<br />
leadership roles this term. Despite having exams, study and final assignments, the students have worked<br />
on projects they are organising and managing themselves.<br />
The Northland “P” Project is one such project. Designed to raise awareness of the dangers of “P” and its<br />
use particularly in Northland, the students have given their time at Rugby and on Mufti Day to raise money<br />
for the project. Under the leadership of David Tuisaula, 20 students involved themselves in this project.<br />
Another smaller group: Megan, Ben, Barney, Sam, Adelle, Lauren, Sarah and Ashlee, have been working to<br />
develop greater synergy between Senior and Junior students at <strong>Kamo</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. They have developed a<br />
plan to work with Year 9 students in Term 1, 2010. This plan involves activities organised and managed by<br />
the Year 13 students from this year’s Whanau Leadership Group.<br />
Jan Menzies – Leadership Co‐ordinator<br />
ARTS DEPARTMENT<br />
The senior school have now left for the year, we wish them all well for their exams. To those Year 13’s<br />
who have left to become part of the big world we send all our best wishes, we look forward to hearing<br />
in the future of your success in your chosen fields.<br />
As the school year winds down the Arts Department is still<br />
very busy. We have junior students preparing performances,<br />
costumes and props for their up and coming “WOW”<br />
performances, which will be held on Wednesday 25 and<br />
Thursday 26 <strong>November</strong> in A6 at the Arts Department, starting<br />
at 7pm. There will be a gold coin entry fee. Make sure you are<br />
there as it will be a great night with our young students<br />
showcasing their talents.<br />
Some of the junior Drama and Music students travelled to Sky City in Auckland on the 19 <strong>November</strong> to<br />
watch the performance of Oliver; this was a terrific opportunity to watch theatre at its best.<br />
Finally don’t forget the “ARTS AWARDS EVENING” to be held on Friday 4 December in the <strong>Kamo</strong> <strong>High</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> Arts Department Drama room. Starting with a walk through at 6.30pm, the main event will start<br />
promptly at 7.00pm. A light supper and drinks will be available. Tickets are $10.00 and are available at<br />
both the <strong>School</strong> office and the Arts office.<br />
