Wiki Tuawhetu (Week 7), Term 4 2022: Next week’s message from Jason Elder

Tēnā koutou katoa

Last Friday, Stratford Primary School became a Green-Gold Enviro School. This is a huge achievement for the school. A massive thank you to everyone who has been involved in our journey. We will be celebrating our Green-Gold Achievement on Friday 9 December. More information will be shared closer to the day about this. 

Reports and Stationery Lists come home on Friday 2 December:
Next Friday, tamariki will be bringing home their stationery list. This will show next years class placement. They will also bring home their Learning Journey Report or Individual Education Plan Report. It would be great if whānau could sit down with their tamariki and go through their report. Focus on the positives. For example, what are they doing well as an AIM High Learner. What are they doing well in reading, writing and maths. Then, together come up with some areas to improve on next year. Writes these down and put the paper in a safe place to use at the Goal Setting meeting at the start of 2023.
