LEO Club
Welcome back to another busy and very
exciting term! Last term was such an
amazing and rewarding term for the LEO
Club and we would like to thank you all for
your input around school!
At the end of last term, we had two events
that went towards very deserving causes.
Firstly, the LEO community came together
to donate their spare non-perishable food
items toward the Salvation Army Food
Bank - we had an amazing turnout of
generous donations, so thank you to all
that helped, it truly makes a difference!
Lastly, to finish the term with a bang we
had our first major event of the year, the
Hire a Helper Auction which was a great
occasion and raised over $600 for the
victims of the Christchurch tragedy in their
time of need, which was something we
all felt very passionate about. Once again,
thank you! Our gratitude is immense for
everyone’s selfless contributions!
Next week many are donating to NZ
Blood, there are various collections in the
pipeline and we are collecting old and
foreign currency. Make sure to keep an
eye out around school, and on the notices
for more upcoming events that are going
to be coming your way soon!

Staff Farewell
to Ann Kingsbury
Ann has been the Board of Trustees secretary, PA to our Principal and homestay co ordinator at
James Hargest for almost four years. These are particularly demanding and very diverse roles.
Ann has undertaken all aspects of her job in a most efficient, professional and skilled way. Not
many of us have the privilege of visiting homes and sometimes dealing with a range of sensitive
issues. This she did with compassion and empathy for those involved. We wish Ann all the best as
she steps into a new role at a local primary school.

Year 8 Poetry Recitals
This is a compulsory competition for all our year 8 students. All students must recite a
poem to the best of their ability in front of their own class. Many whanau would have
heard these poems as our students practised them at home. Students chose their own
poems and there was a huge range of poems delivered from famous, old, unknown,
new, romantic, scary, sad, to funny and humorous. The expected poem length had to
be more than 30 seconds but less than 3 minutes. Students were judged on their ability
to perform the poem in relation to their use of body language, the volume and clarity
of their delivery, how they used inflection and enunciation, their level of memorisation
and their overall interpretation of the poem. After students performed in front of their
homeroom, 2 students were selected to represent their class in a syndicate semi-final and
then the top 10 students from both semi-finals went on to perform their poems in the
Year 8 Poetry final. Thank you to Mrs McDowell, Ms Peters, Mr James, Mrs Mika and Ms
Wilson for assisting in the judging this year. The high standard was great to see.
Congratulations to the following students who received the following placings this year.
1st place Luca Hook - Room 11
2nd place Jessica Ballantyne - Room 16
3rd place Charlotte Dassen - Room 19
Highly commended Oliver Speight - Room 8
Haka House Competition
The Junior Campus House Haka competition was held on Friday 5 April. Each House did
an outstanding job, including unique aspects in their performance to ensure their haka
stood out. The passion, precision and volume of all Houses’ performances was awesome.
After some challenging discussions among the judges, Thomson were celebrated as the
winners of the House Haka competition in 2019. The afternoon finished with a spine
tingling whole school haka. A huge thanks to our guest judges from the Senior Campus
who did a wonderful job evaluating the merits of each haka. We are incredibly proud of
all students who participated and thank all whanau who attended for their support.

take on a challenge and to gain valuable experience in an
external testing situation. This test can help with preparation
for exams and assessment activities.
All students receive a certificate and an individual student
report indicating which questions they answered correctly
and their score compared with the rest of the students
tested. The student report is useful for highlighting strengths
and weaknesses and indicating areas to work on. The ICAS
certificate provides a valuable addition to a student’s CV.
Cost of each assessment: $15.00
