Tournament of Minds
A huge congratulations to the three teams that took part in the Tournament of
Minds problem solving challenges at Massey High school on Saturday.
You all did such an amazing job and represented CBS incredibly well.
Thank you to all the parents who came out to support your children and to the
teachers for their patience over the last six weeks of the challenge. I was
incredibly proud if how you all worked together as a team.
Top place went to the CBS History Wipeout team in their language literature
challenge. They now will have the opportunity to represent CBS at the regional
finals in September. Woo hoo!!!! Mrs Lanning
Communication – Great News!
We are always looking for better ways to communicate so we are introducing a
‘mobile app’ for sharing information with you – our school community.
The school will be using the app to send out the school newsletter, general
updates, reminders, events and much, much more!
The app is called tiqbiz and is available for iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android Phone,
Android Tablet and Windows phone devices.
If you don’t have a mobile device, there is also an app available for computer,
both Mac and PC.
More information on how to download and use this app will be sent home to you
soon with a further update in next week’s newsletter.

Storytelling Magic
Last week two authors, a storyteller and an interpreter visited our school. Mrs
Betty Gilderdale, author of the Yellow Digger series, and a number of other
titles, met with Hirozumi Asai, a writer of childrens’ books from Japan, along
with a storybook reader, Shinya Mirua, and an interpreter, Takeo Maeda.
Following a meeting and an exchange of ideas with Mrs Gilderdale, the visitors
entranced children in some of the junior classes with books written by Mr Asai
and the storytelling magic of Takeo Maedo. It is amazing how little formal
spoken language is needed when illustrations help tell the story along with a
most expressive storyteller.
Bus Bay
The morning arrangements in the bus bay are working well. We probably have
a 95%+ compliance in terms of ‘stopping, dropping and going’ taking very little
time. Hold ups are usually because of the sheer number of vehicles using the
bus bay between 8.30am and 8.55am, particularly on wet mornings. Now the
turn around times in the morning have improved markedly it is time to turn our
attention to improving the situation in the afternoons.
To operate efficiently, arrangements should be almost the same as the morning:
Stopping, picking up and going (without the need for parents to get out of their
vehicles.) If you are going to collect your child after school from the bus bay
please tell your child to wait on the shell area and to keep a look out for your
arrival. If you cannot see your child in the waiting area, please do not get out of
your vehicle and go looking for them! This can create chaos as vehicles back up
behind your parked car. If you cannot see your child, please drive out of the bus
bay and park elsewhere and then go and look for your child.
The bus bay in the afternoon from the time the school bus leaves until 3.30pm
is strictly: Stop, pick up and go.
We thank you for complying with this rule.
Student Achievement
Data
The mid year student
achievement data, as
reported to the Board of
Trustees on 19 August, can
be found on the front page of
the school’s website.
www.campbellsbay.school.nz
On the face of it, the data and
the analysis might not sound
as though it is the most
exciting thing to read.
However, the data and the
following analysis of the data
that forms the basis for the
planning of programmes for
students is one of the most
important set of information
we generate each year.
Substantial amounts of
classroom programmes are
founded on the outcomes of
the analysis of this data.
Please note that while the
data is presented in year
groups or time at school, each
child is monitored and
accounted for. This provides
very useful information when
it comes to identifying either
individuals who require
particular programmes and/or
it allows us to monitor how
children are progressing who
are already in particular
programmes.
If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to
