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 />

Staffing – New Appointments<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 />

Elaine Delaney – Assistant Principal<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 />
