Thursday, 30th June 2016 Term 2 Week 9 Dear Parents and Caregivers, He mihi tenei kia koutou nga matua, me nga kaitiaki o a tatou tamariki. Tena koutou katoa The 2016 Kenakena School Boys Mentoring Programme is up-and-running this term

with our first cohort of Year 6 boys enjoying a trip to the National Police College and a

session of healthy cooking with Jeanine van Kradenburg, a dietitian from Party Perfect

as well as other in-school activities.

At the National Police College the boys learned about the forensics of finger-printing.

A police-dog handler presented to the boys about his job, the training involved and

about working hard and staying focused to achieve goals and stay out of trouble. The

boys also toured the Police Museum.

Thanks to Mr Ryan Jackson and Mr Andy Jenkins for organising the trip.

EMERGENCY DRESS-UP DAY FOR WELLINGTON FREE AMBULANCE

The Kenakena School Student Council organised a ‘Health and Safety Dress-Up Day’

for last Friday to raise funds for Wellington Free Ambulance, an organisation that has

served Kenakena School and our community very well over many years. We raised

$290 for this great cause.

More photos will go up on our facebook page

HOME SAMPLE FOLDERS

Over the next week children will bring home their Home Sample Folders. These are

issued twice per year in Terms 2 and 4. The folders contain samples of their work

accompanied by notes about the work and comments from their teachers on their

social and academic progress.

Students from Year 3 onwards will be writing their own reflective comments.

Alongside the comments is a space for you to write a positive comment to encourage

your children in their work. We’re looking for you to recognise the good work they

have achieved and to encourage them to work hard on the areas in which they need to

improve. Feedback is a huge motivator for learners. The feedback you give is an

important aspect of the learning partnership between student, teacher and parent.

The best way to view the folder is to sit down with your son or daughter and let them

share it with you. Focus on the good things, talk about their areas for further

development and remain positive and encouraging.

Folders should be returned to school by Monday, July 25.

Kāpiti Coast Town Centres and Connectors Transformation Project

HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE LATEST CONCEPT DESIGNS FOR PARAPARAUMU AND

WAIKANAE TOWN CENTRES

We want our town centres to be vibrant, diverse and thriving - places where people want to

spend their time and where they can access the services they need.

More than 200 people visited us at the recent open days/evenings and provided feedback

that will be considered as we take the current designs through to construction.

But we know not everyone could make it along.

If you haven’t yet had the chance to see what we are proposing, you can view the latest

concept designs online and tell us what you think. You can comment on both of the town

centres or just skip to the one you are interested in.

For Paraparaumu the first set of projects that we’d like your feedback on includes concept

designs for SH1 becoming a local road, the Coastlands and civic precinct area, and Kāpiti

Lights.

In Waikanae the first set of projects for feedback are centred on turning SH1 into a local

road within two years of the Expressway opening.

Feedback closes on 30 June 2016 so please take some time to have a look and tell us what

you think.

How to provide feedback:

(1) Making an online submission is the fastest, easiest way to have your say. Your submission will go

directly to council staff and you will receive an email acknowledging we have received it.

Click here to provide feedback online.

(2) Hard copy feedback forms can be picked up from the Council building in Iver Trask Place

Paraparaumu, and from Paraparaumu and Waikanae libraries.

If you have any queries, feel free to contact the Project Team at this address:

towncentres@kapiticoast.govt.nz.
