Good afternoon all,

It was great to spend time on campus again this week.  We have a very positive learning environment, and this is a real credit to the staff and students.

Last week the Student Leadership Team discussed better use of the Learning Centre spaces, and it was impressive to see the leadership they are showing in using the open collaborative space rather than working in studio rooms.  The way we use the space is an important part of getting maximum benefit from the Learning to Learn framework.

For senior students this is a very important time of the year.  NCEA students have received significant numbers of marks now but are still at a point where they can influence their final results. 

We are only one week from the start of OSG exams; these are a great opportunity to find weaknesses ahead of the final examinations later in the year, and the OSG results become critically important if a student is unable to sit the final exams due to sickness or injury. 

OSG are providing a series of three study tips videos by learning expert Karen Boyes which will be available to all Year 11-13 students prior to the OSG exams.

Finally, please help us maintain 100% attendance (no unjustified absences) this month.  If your child/ren will be absent due to community meetings, please complete the following form by 5 PM today: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/510ef581e38b408abb10480d92921245

All the best for the weekend from Jonathan Moore on behalf of the CA Team

Dear OneSchool Volunteer,

Thank you for the time and effort you put into helping with the education of our students. As a global organisation we are constantly evolving and updating our processes to ensure we remain relevant, up to date and most importantly compliant. We are required to keep a full, current database of all of our volunteers, along with current police vetting records. As part of this we ask you to please action the following;

1. Sign the Volunteer Agreement – Please click on the following link to complete the volunteer agreement (NOTE: we recommend you do this from a computer rather than on your smartphone) OneSchool Global NZ Volunteer Agreement
2. Submit a police vetting form - Please complete the attached PDF Police Vetting form and upload via the following link click here to submit your PV form. (NOTE: some fields have been prepopulated for you)

Alternatively you can send back to your OA along with a copy of your license & passport.

We appreciate that you may have completed these requests previously, however it is a legal requirement for OSG to have these redone at this time.

If you have any questions, please contact your local campus Office Administrator who will be happy to assist.

Thank you for your ongoing support of OneSchool NZ!

Enrolment at the School is voluntary, but once enrolled, attendance is compulsory. At enrolment and at the commencement of subsequent years at the School, parents/guardians and students are required to confirm their agreement to, and their acceptance of, the Parent and Student Handbook, the School Ethos and Guiding Principles, and the School Policies as outlined in this Handbook and as updated from time to time. The enrolment procedure requires the collection of certain information about the student and their parents/guardians in accordance with Government requirements, particulars of any medical condition, any learning support requirements and emergency contact details. Students may be assessed prior to attending, and will be assessed at different times during their attendance.

Note that parents/guardians must also advise the Office Administration at any time if changes in contact details/circumstances or medical conditions occur. The Campus must also be kept informed of any court orders applying to students.

Students are required to attend every designated school day for the duration of the daily schedule. This includes sport and excursion days, and compulsory extra curricula activities. Each day, students will be marked as either present or absent on the roll.

If a student is absent unexpectedly, the Campus Office must be notified no later than School start time. The parents/guardians are required to notify the campus by sending an email to the Office Administrator, via the Edge app, or by a phone call.

Leave of absence for a student to attend church meetings, weddings, funerals or for other reasons requires a request for special leave from parents/guardians in advance of the first day of absence. The request must be approved by the Office Administration.

Whole Campus absence for church meetings, weddings or funerals requires advance notice from the Campus Administration (CA) Team, after taking advice of school assessments and other events from the Campus Principal and Regional Leadership Team.

Where the Campus Principal and Campus Administration (CA) Team has approved of a student’s legitimate, long term absence, the Campus will endeavour to provide support for the student’s learning programme.
