The Event Management Hapori

Awhina team ran a disco the second
last week of last term and did a
fabulous job thanks to Mariana for
the lights! It was fantastic to see all
the kids get into the spirit of it
dressing up and all joining in on the
dancing and the action!

In the last week of term we had the

Education Review Office (ERO) in the
school. Their job is to review everything
the school does that contributes to the
learning and achievement of our
students. We received great feedback
and while being under scrutiny is never a
treat, the week went really smoothly
they enjoyed our students and were
complimentary of our staff which is
lovely. We have received the
unconfirmed report and will share the
final report with you once it is finalised.

Congratulations to Kaiah Foggo our winner of the Invercargill North Rotary Youth Merit Award
This was awarded to Kaiah on Thursday 24 September at a dinner awards ceremony- it is
awarded to a student who is striving to achieve, displays honesty, trustworthiness, resilience
and has won the respect of their peers. Kaiah is a great ambassador for Bluff School who
epitomises the values of the school. She is a leader who has a positive attitude, is keen to
participate in everything, has a great working relationship with adults and also her peers. She is
a confident, yet humble person and is not one that likes to boast about herself. Well done Kaiah!

Nga Putangitangi we have received the information regarding times of performances for FRIDAY 30 OCTOBER. The
junior group are on 4th in their section that starts at 8.55 (so maybe about 10) and the seniors at this stage are on 2nd in their
section that starts at 3.45 (so maybe about 4). These times are very approximate and things could run fast or slow. We will
send a follow up notice this week about transport in and out etc later this week.
Have a great week all! Alison
