Student diary
All SHS students have been issued with a school diary. This must be brought to school each day as part of the students’ essential materials for learning along with exercise books/folders/paper and pens and other writing equipment. All should be carried in a sturdy, good-sized bag. Handbags and flimsy cloth bags are not acceptable. They only need books for the five subjects they are doing each day. The school diary contains valuable information about the school’s expectations of students, the organisation of SHS (school rules and uniform requirements). For students in NCEA subjects there is a page where they can keep a record of their internal NCEA credits gained each term. The diary will help students to meet one of the new curriculum’s key competencies – managing self. By using the diary each day, students will be well organised for their learning and other school commitments.
SHS Sports results
The results for SHS swimming, triathlon and athletics events will be posted on the school website as they come to hand. These days have been very successful with great participation by athletes and spectators combined. Look for colourful photos on the school website.
