Welcome back to Term 3!

Kia ora e te whānau



Welcome back to Term 3! We have begun writing our speeches, this week we have learn't how to write an effective introduction; with a hook, thesis statement and 3 points of discussion. Next week our focus will be writing our 3 body paragraphs based on the supporting information they received this week. 

CHILL CLUBS: We have started a new round of chill clubs. Some students required more structure based on their presentation results last term, hence their projects being designed for them. Please have a chat with your tamariki about what their projects are and how you can best support them.

WEARING BLACK FOR OUR ATHLETES! 
To celebrate the Olympics, Hōpara is wearing All Black on Monday. Go the kiwis!! 

CAN DRIVE:

Can Drive for Community Wellbeing North Canterbury:

Agents of Change is our focus value for this term. Agents of change look for opportunities to help others and make a difference in their world.

 

To put this value into action, we will join in with other schools across North Canterbury to support Cans for a Cause. Please bring items to donate to school next week. Look for the box in your team.

 

Any non-perishable items that you normally put in your grocery shop make good donations, also everyday items such as cans of food, toiletries, toilet paper and washing up liquid.

 

Your donation will help make up food parcels that will be given to families in need across the Hurunui and Waimakariri using our network of North Canterbury foodbanks.

 

Thank you for your support!
