Sporting ability – Learners need to be proficient in a wide range of sporting skills. We will be looking at sports played, participation in classroom sports/PE, and Zone Days attended.



Character – Selectors will be looking for learners who display a positive sporting attitude and a willingness to give everything a go. Classroom behaviour needs to be of a high standard as learners will be representing the school, this will be looked at closely.

Strike Action Thursday 16 March

Mon Mar 13 03:02pm

13 March 2023


Dear Parents/Caregivers


Further to our alert on Friday, the school will be open for supervision only on Thursday, 16 March, due to the PPTA/NZEI teacher strikes.


Please note, there will be no teaching on this day, and your child is unlikely to be with their usual class or teacher.


Please complete the attached survey ASAP if your child needs supervision on this day. (attach link)


 


Why is the strike happening?


The unions representing primary and secondary teachers have been in long-running negotiations with the Ministry of Education for improved conditions and pay; these employment agreements cover over 50,000 teachers nationally.


In summary, this action seeks to lift pay and conditions to attract and retain quality teachers and school leaders that our children need to thrive in education.


Thank you for your understanding in this matter.



Kind regards,


Irene Brodie-Presiding Member


Zane Wilson-Principal

School to Open for Instruction Friday 3rd February

Wed Feb 01 01:47pm

1st February 2023


Kia ora koutou


On Monday this week, the Secretary for Education took the decision to direct schools and other education providers in Auckland to close for on-site instruction (learning) because of the weather emergency and the need to reduce traffic on roads.


This initial direction was until the 7th of February, which is the last day by which schools must start their term under education regulations.  The Secretary for Education, Iona Holsted, undertook to review the direction to close daily to minimise disruption to schools that can open.


After the review today, the Secretary has lifted the Direction to close.  


As a result of this decision, we have decided that the school will open for instruction for all learners from Friday, 3rd February, and we look forward to welcoming all learners to school. 


The class google meet we had scheduled for Friday will now take place at 10.00 am on Thursday 2nd February. Classroom teachers will email a google meet link to families between 4.00-6.00 pm this afternoon.


We understand that many of you will have made alternative arrangements for the remainder of the week, so if your child will not be attending school on Friday, 3rd February please advise the school office by emailing absentee@tnis.school.nz.


A reminder that school begins at 8.45 am and we would like all learners to be here by 8.30 am each day.  Please note that the school cafe will be open from Tuesday 7th February.

School Closure Update

Tue Jan 31 03:02pm

Kia ora koutou


This is certainly not the start to the new school year we wanted. However, we must follow the advice from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Ministry of Education (MOE).


I hope you are all keeping safe and that those of you who have issues from the awful weather Auckland is experiencing are managing. 


The Secretary of Education has directed Takapuna Normal Intermediate School (and all schools in the Auckland area) to close until 7 February. This minimises traffic on the roads and allows urgent infrastructure repairs. The school grounds are closed to all learners and parents for the remainder of this week, and we will not be offering online learning.


On Friday, 3 February, all classroom teachers will host a meeting with parents/learners via Google Meet at 10.00 am.   This will replace the face-to-face meetings we had scheduled. This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity to meet your child’s classroom teacher and other learners. Classroom teachers will send the meeting link between 4.00 – 6.00 pm on Thursday, 2  February. 


While we intended to have a Whakatau welcome, due to pressure on the council compliance team and the final signoff of the hall not happening this week, we will now be unable to have the Whakatau. 


The school will be closed all this week. However, we will be clearing emails and phone messages daily. Please ensure you have downloaded our school app for any further updates.


We look forward to welcoming all of our learners on Tuesday, 7 February. We are confident that we can make up for the lost learning time. 


Please note this is an evolving situation, and NEMA and MoE will review the directive daily, based on advice. If anything changes we will update you.

Ministry Announces School Closures

Mon Jan 30 05:18pm

Dear Parents and Caregivers,



The Secretary of Education has directed all schools in the Auckland Region (Wellsford to Pukekohe) must remain closed until 7 February.



Unfortunately, we must cancel all parent-learner meetings tomorrow.  These will be rescheduled as soon as possible.



We are currently working through the implications of this announcement and we will communicate with you again tomorrow.



Stay safe and take care.

Start of School

Mon Jan 30 01:17pm

Our thoughts are with those of you who have been badly affected by rain and flooding this weekend.  Our classrooms escaped flooding, and teachers are excited to welcome the 2023 learners.  Our reception and admin spaces were not so lucky – please only visit these areas if it is essential, for the next two weeks while we clean up and work to reinstate flooring and furniture.  If you have any queries, you can email admin@tnis.school.nz.


Parent-learner meetings will go ahead as scheduled on Tuesday, 31 January, and we will be open for the first full day of school from 8.30 am on Wednesday, 1 February.  We know some of you have been impacted by the flooding and dealing with those issues. If you cannot attend parent-learner meetings or your child will be absent on the first day of school, please get in touch with the office or your child’s teacher.  You can report your child’s absence by emailing absentee@tnis.school.nz.


Unfortunately, due to the weekend weather conditions, the contractors were unable to complete the finishing stages of the auditorium renovation, and we are unable to use it this week, which means we have made the difficult decision to cancel our scheduled whakatau for new learners and families on Wednesday at 11.30 am.


We look forward to seeing all learners on Wednesday.


Stay safe and take care.
