Procrastination - Seniors start studying.

Time for the seniors to stop procrastinating and to start getting on with the requirements for the end of the year.

Notes on procrastination from the Principals Digest:
The triumph of impulsivity over future benefits.
- Make future goals vivid
- Short term gain, long term pain
- Reduce uncertainty
- Reduce distractions
- Make the most of your willpower
Don't doubt the dream or it will never come true.

Enrolment Process - 2010

Year 8 students should have received an enrolment from from their teacher at school. Please complete this form and return it to school. Mrs Butler, Guidance Counsellor and Year 8 intake Dean will collect these from the primary schools when she makes her visits in Term 4. New enrolment forms are able to be collected from the main school office if you need to.
Students will be invited to visit the school in December for an orientation visit and will be given a booklet at this time which will have all stationery, uniform and other essential information for the beginning of the school term. We ask that students / parents keep this booklet for the first term as it has a lot of useful information.
NB: on the enrolment form it asks for Poutama intentions - if you have read the Poutama brochure in the prospectus folder feel free to complete this, otherwise leave blank.

The RR Tyrer scholarship information sheets have been sent to referees and these are being returned to the school. They will be read by the Board members and a decision will be made at the Board meeting in October.
The BoT Scholarship Exams have been sat by students and these are currently being marked. The results will go to the board meeting in october and winners will be announced after that meeting. Good Luck to all students who sat this exam.
