Welcome Back! It is great to have enjoyed a two-week break, where we were blessed with some fine weather and had the chance to recharge the baeries. From my observaons it also looked like many members of the public were also able to take an extended break due to the Easter and ANZAC days falling so close. This newsleer marks seven years in this seat at KVC. It is quite incredible just how quickly that me seems to have gone by but I am pleased with what has been achieved in that me. I would like to pass on my thanks to the staff and you, the community, for your massive contribuon over that me and for the way you have helped to shape my leadership style. I can recall in my very first staff meeng at KVC, I spoke to staff about what I believed to be immediate tasks. The emphasis for that first term and beyond was around building relaonships and this is something that we never stop doing. Without these, Without these, the best intenons in the world will not bring about improved teaching and learning. At that me, seven years ago, the school had a Limited Statutory Manager around finances; the school roll was plummeng and things were just a lile grim. The Statutory Manager is gone, the roll has been stabilised and is starng to turn the corner and we have been part of many really excing innovaon projects such as Sport in Educaon, Acve Educaon and of course the Urban Farm. This has been due to the immense passion and commitment of the wider staff and some key drivers and I thank them for all the energy they pour into the jobs at hand. Some of you may have noced over the last few weeks some announcements by Tracey Marn, Associate Minister of Educaon, around 600 new posions in schools called “Learning Support Coordinators”. I would like to publically commend this decision and its intent of providing support in schools for what is an ever-evolving task and increasing challenge, parcularly around supporng students and families who have real needs. Clearly the devil will be in the detail but I look forward to having this support in schools, which will surely lighten the enormous load and hopefully allow schools to beer harness support from the mulple agencies and sectors that provide for our young people. ANZAC Day is a naonal day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on the 25 th of April every year. It honours members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operaons for their countries. ANZAC Day remains one of the most important naonal occasions of both Australia and New Zealand. This is a rare instance of two sovereign countries not only sharing the same Remembrance Day, but making reference to both countries in its name. On Wednesday 25 th April a number of our student leaders, members of the school council, as well as others, represented all schools at the Dawn Parade at the Queen’s Gardens. I wish to thank all those who came for your support and this mark of respect. No doubt over the last few weeks we have all heard, ‘The Last Post.’ It’s the song that gives us the lump in our throats and can bring tears to the eyes of grown men and women. There is a very interesng story behind the song and its humble beginnings. Reportedly, it all began in 1862 during the American Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison’s Landing in Virginia. The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land. During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical aenon. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment. When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead. The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only parally granted. The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth’s uniform. This wish was granted. The haunng melody, we now know as ‘The Last Post’ used at military funerals was born. Maybe as you listen in future you might consider the humble beginnings of this tune. Rick Geerlofs, Principal

No. 12 - 03 May 2019Principal’s CommentKia ora, greetings to all parents, caregivers and friends of the school.

Welcome Back!It is great to have enjoyed a two-week break, where we were blessed with some fine weather and had the chance to recharge the batteries. From my observations it also looked like many members of the public were also able to take an extended break due to the Easter and ANZAC days falling so close.This newsletter marks seven years in this seat at KVC. It is quite incredible just how quickly that time seems to have gone by but I am pleased with what has been achieved in that time. I would like to pass on my thanks to the staff and you, the community, for your massive contribution over that time and for the way you have helped to shape my leadership style. I can recall in my very first staff meeting at KVC, I spoke to staff about what I believed to be immediate tasks. The emphasis for that first term and beyond was around building relationships and this is something that we never stop doing. Without these,Without these, the best intentions in the world will not bring about improved teaching and learning. At that time, seven years ago, the school had a Limited Statutory Manager around finances; the school roll was plummeting and things were just a little grim. The Statutory Manager is gone, the roll has been stabilised and is starting to turn the corner and we have been part of many really exciting innovation projects such as Sport in Education, Active Education and of course the Urban Farm. This has been due to the immense passion and commitment of the wider staff and some key drivers and I thank them for all the energy they pour into the jobs at hand.Some of you may have noticed over the last few weeks some announcements by Tracey Martin, Associate Minister of Education, around 600 new positions in schools called “Learning Support Coordinators”. I would like to publically commend this decision and its intent of providing support in schools for what is an ever-evolving task and increasing challenge, particularly around supporting students and families who have real needs. Clearly the devil will be in the detail but I look forward to having this support in schools, which will surely lighten the enormous load and hopefully allow schools to better harness support from the multiple agencies and sectors that provide for our young people.ANZAC Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on the 25th of April every year.

Words from the LibraryBook of the Week - ‘The Boy who Harnessed the Wind’ by Bryan Mealer and William KamkwambaThis is the true story of a teenager, William Kamkwamba from Malawi, Africa. A terrible famine struck his tiny village and the loss of crops

left his family with nothing to eat or sell. Without money, William was forced to drop out of school. Fortunately, he found hope in the village library. There, he came up with an idea that would change the lives of the people around him. He would build a windmill. Made from junkyard scraps, William’s amazing creation would bring electricity to his home. It would help his family pump the water they needed to farm the land... and it would turn this ordinary African teenager into a hero known all around the world as the boy who harnessed the wind. An inspiring book for all ages.Grant SuccessThe Kingston Sedgfield Trust have given the Brathwaite Centre a grant to purchase three cameras, which will be very useful resources for recording students participating in activities. The grant will also be used for Brathwaite Centre staff first aid training. We hugely appreciate the continued support of the Trust.Library Book SaleCongratulations to Courtney Power, Year 12, for designing the winning poster to advertise our Book Sale, which will take place in September. Donations of books can be dropped off at school anytime.

The general information tent at the University of Otago is at the Union Lawn in the centre of campus, where there will be extra programmes and material to take away. The Hub at the Otago Polytechnic is where students can ask for directions or help if they are around the Polytech area.On the website https://otago.ac.nz/openday students will find a new digital planner, where they can create an account and view, search, sort and add sessions to a personalised schedule.

Thank you to those who have offered to help and you may still be called upon yet as things get underway.There is a table on the next page to remind everyone when each of the sports kick-off and also times and days for team practices. As always it is imperative that students attend all practices and they must put in an apology to their coach if they are unable to make a practice or game. Students are being reminded in the daily notices about practices and when their sports start up. Please refer to the table for your child’s sport’s info.Well done to Lachlan Colquhoun for being selected for the Under 18 Southern Men’s
