PRIDE Awards: Term 2, Week 3

Here are our superstar P.R.I.D.E. awards from last week. They are all superb role models for our school. They all show integrity and enjoyment in their learning!

Next week's PRIDE assembly will feature an item from Rimu Hub. I wonder what that will be. I wonder who will win the PRIDE awards...

Postcards: Term 2, Week 2

Here are our stunning postcard winners from the second week in Term 2. All three are outstanding role models for Rimu Hub and Parkvale School. They also really show the E for Enjoyment in Parkvale PRIDE; as well as the I for Integrity in their learning.

Brayden is a great leader for our hub and school. He enjoys his learning and gives everything a go, while always being kind to others.

Mya is a motivated Year 5 student who knows her own learning. She has a great sense of humour too. The force is strong in this one.

Liske is another great leader for our hub and school. She tackles all challenges with a happy smile and has been especially helpful and kind to others lately.

PRIDE Awards: Term 2, Week 1

Here are our superstar P.R.I.D.E. winners from Week 1 in Term 2. It was a great start to the week. These three got their PRIDE awards for different reasons. It was a real treat to get to see them step up to the stage and receive them. Kia kaha, Jessica, Bella-Marie and Keagan!

Postcards: Term 2, Week 1

Look at our proud postcard winners! These three sure deserved their postcards; they're great role models for Rimu Hub.

Mac is shining as an independent and collaborative learner. His questioning and sharing help himself and others to learn better.

Jodi is a role model for others in Rimu Hub. She knows her own learning, tries super hard and is always kind to others.

Cameron has started the term with a super-positive attitude to learning. He is managing his distractions well.

Postcards Week 10

We are very proud of our Postcard People for Week 10. It was magical to see their faces beam with delight when their names were read out!

Connor has consistently been giving his personal best effort in learning tasks; resulting in great outcomes.

Rain has continued her amazing first term in Rimu hub. She is growing as a self-managing and self-directed learner.

Mya has been trying so hard to manage distractions and focus on her learning. She has done a great job of this and should be really pleased with her results.

Kia kaha, Rimu tamariki!

PRIDE Awards Term 1 Week 9

Here are our champion PRIDE award winners from Week 9. We even had an extra winner this week, chosen by Miss Hill for his effort in writing. Kia kaha, Rimu tamariki!

Postcard Week 8

Our Easter Postcard People are a special bunch. They've all shown integrity in their learning and have been managing their distractions effectively.

Kaydence has been so focussed on her learning. She is managing her time well and making great choices. She knows what to do and how to do it.

Skyla has been a role model of positive learning and work habits. It has been wonderful to see her step up as a leader as a Year Five.

Ngakete has been putting his personal best into all his learning. We are very proud of him.

Kia kaha, Rimu tamariki!

The Return of the PRIDE Awards

We missed the second lot of PRIDE awards while we were on camp. So we were very excited to award these three awards to three very special Rimu learners.

Well done Skyla, Jodi and Mac. I wonder who will win the next three PRIDE awards...

Rimu Puzzle

We created a Rimu puzzle to begin the year. It reflects our unity together as well as us as individuals. It is an artwork that communicates ideas about us.

"I think the idea is great! This as a puzzle would be good. It shows each of our fav things and joins it together as one good work." Camden

For each of our puzzle pieces, the success criteria was:

• Some green for Rimu (but not all green)
• Represents you in some way (about you)
• Number is on the back, on the bottom (so our puzzle fitted together)
• You have to be careful - you only have one piece of the puzzle!
• Materials - only from the art trolley, plus sharpies for outline only

Can you tell who made each piece?

Meet the Hub

Thank you to all the whanau who came to our information meeting. It was nice to see you and be able to communicate our messages about our learning environment. The PTA picnic afterwards had a really lovely community feel. I liked how all the children were showing Parkvale PRIDE outside school hours. A special thank you to the students in the video below who contributed their thoughts on our hub so far this year. We were very proud of your contributions and so happy to share them with the parents at our meeting.

Here is the slideshow that we shared. It includes the video. We will be making many more of these videos over the year.
