Dear Readers of TAN

Approaching our final week of the term, we congratulate Ruataniwha for their win in the athletics on Tuesday, and also thank everyone for competing.

Next week we have our seniors going to Timaru for their Sheilah Winn Festival - good luck to them.

Head Boy Zane Morris-Bamber

Aoraki Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival 2015

This year our drama students are presenting an excerpt from

Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure. The plot centres around, Isabella, a novice nun, who is propositioned by the

Duke’s Deputy, Angelo. If she succumbs to his wicked

intentions he will revise his decision to behead her brother Claudio. Isabella is put in an impossible situation, what will

she do? This year’s cast includes Talia Metcalfe, Zane Morris-Bamber,

Micah Purton, Niamh Summers and Kaya Skinner. The cast is ably supported by Santana Rapana-King and Hayden Bell

who are singing an Elizabethan song from

Measure for Measure. The students will be performing next Tuesday, 31st March at

7.00 pm at Timaru Girl’s High School Hall.

Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students.

SCHOOL DONATIONS 2015

An additional annual cost for each Y2-Y13 student is $15 for Mathletics. This is an online programme we have opted into, and as we are charged per student, we must pass this cost on. Mathletics is a valuable interactive website where students can practice their mathematical skills. On-line activities support class-room programmes. Students can access Mathletics at anytime, at school and at home, and it is also available as an App for iPads and tablets.

A message from the Canterbury District Health Board: Free Dental Care For Children ~ With special

information regarding Year 8 students: One of our Community Dental Service preventative mobile

clinics will be visiting TAS soon. We will be aiming to see that

all school aged children enrolled with the Community Dental

Service have their dental check-up while we are there.

The Therapist will not only be checking children’s teeth but will

X-ray, clean, and apply protective treatments (including fluoride)

if required.

If your child needs further dental care such as fillings they will

bring home a ‘Care Plan’ explaining what dental care is needed.

When you receive the ‘Care Plan’ please contact our Call

Centre asap as you will need to arrange a time to bring your

child to one of our Community Clinics for this treatment.

As this Mobile unit is required at another location in

approximately five weeks we would appreciate your co-

operation in attending the allocated appointment time with your

child.

Please also let us know asap if you wish to be present at your

child’s check-up or if you do not wish your child to have any of

the proposed dental care. You can phone 0800 846 983 or talk to staff in the mobile unit.

Please contact us if you want to enrol your child; want further

information on the Community Dental Service; or if you have

other questions.

ALL YEAR 8 STUDENTS enrolled with the Service are

transferred to a FREE private dentist until their 18th birthday.

To help with this transition please ensure you have informed

your child of their family Dentist (not Orthodontist).

More info will be sent home after the Y8 check-up.

Kia Ora and Welcome to TAN.

A big welcome to New Entrant Isaac Davis who started this

week.

Athletics Sports - After two false starts it dawned fine enough on Tuesday to finally have the Year 4-13 Athletic Sports. It was great to see over 100 children running jumping and throwing on the fields all day. The full list of results accompanies this and congratulations to all those who did so well. It was noticeable to us the high rate of participation, everybody did at least two events and most did a lot more. Participating and Contributing are the Key Competencies stressed here; with the demand for house points so high all students had a chance to contribute to their house total, even if they may have preferred to sit and watch! The main point of athletics of course is competition. We don’t need to be scared of the word compete – it literally means to seek together. You bring your ability and I bring mine and we race to see who is fastest or can throw or jump furthest. Moreover, although people gifted at sprinting are like that because of the higher proportion of fast twitch fibres in their leg muscles, they do have to expend some effort to get there and some of them are very dedicated to the training required to produce such results. Similarly, we value the effort that those who don’t have the fast twitch fibres and bring up the rear – they often try as hard. Their satisfaction may come from being closer than last year or throwing further. It is also important to remember that this isn’t the sole measure of success as a person. It is one aspect of a whole character; we also properly value those who work hard, are good friends and can solve problems. We can still celebrate, on a few days of the year, those who are the fastest!

Senior (Year 11-13 students) will have had meetings with their mentors over this past week and on Friday reports of these will be going home. As always if you have a question or want to discuss progress do not hesitate to make an appointment with the teacher or teachers concerned.

Best wishes to the Sheilah Winn Shakespeare group when they perform a 15 minute excerpt from Measure for Measure at Timaru Girls High School next Tuesday. They have been rehearsing hard including Sundays so if you get a chance get along to see another great performance.

Good luck also to the Year 13 PE students on their Lake Ohau kayak, A2O MTB expedition over Sunday and Monday. On the second day they will be accompanied by a Mackenzie College group.

Next Thursday will see the End of Term Assembly at 1.15pm in the Event Centre Theatre. Parents and friends of the school are welcome to join in this end of Term 1 celebration of a very busy term!
