Te Reo Week

Ngā Whakataukī me Ngā Pānui:

Te Reo Language week is being celebrated at Stratford High School this week. Students have the opportunity to enter a competition each day via the daily notices and classes have been given a sheet with a proverb / saying about kai to discuss each day.
Kapa Haka will be performing in the canteen on Thursday at interval.
Rāhina:
Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora te iwi
With your food basket and my food basket, the people will be well cared for

Rātū:
Waiho mā te tangata e mihi
Let others praise you
Rāapa:
Ko te kai rapu, ko ia te kite
He who seeks will find
Rāpare:
He paua kainga tahi, auahi te kakara
The paua may be eaten in one mouthful, but the odour remains
Rāmere:
Kāore te kumara e korero mo tona reka
The kumara does not say how sweet it is

Newsletter
There will be a newsletter issued to students later this week.

Term 3 commences

PTA Meeting this week.
The SHS Parent Teacher Association will be meeting this week on Wednesday 21st July at 6.30 pm. They are meeting early to have a tour of the recently upgraded and remodelled A and T Blocks of the school. Come along and see the wonderful new facilities for our Home Economics, Fabric, Maths, Health and Physical Education rooms as well as the new offices for Careers, Gateway and Sports Co-ordinator. The regular meeting will follow the tours with supper to follow.

Congratulations to the Rugby Tourists
Jeff Walker returned home early this week with a second place in the Gold Coast Canterbury Rugby tournament. He reports that all students and accompanying parents were thrilled with the win and the time away. Thank you to all sponsors, supporters and parents for assisting with the fundraising to make this trip successful.

Parents are asked to contact the school if their student has had success over the holidays.
