School Update

Thu Apr 15 03:49pm

Kia ora parents and whānau

Thanks for all of your support of our playground strategies over the last few weeks. We are pleased to inform you that there has been a definite increase in overall positive and acceptable behaviour.

Therefore from today, we will allow learners to be in bigger groups in the playground. However, if there are groups that show any intimidating and/or unacceptable behaviour, these groups will be asked to break up and some learners may be withdrawn from the playground.

Recent Incidents at school

Wed Mar 31 05:02pm

Smales Farm
We have had a few queries about TNIS Learners walking and riding through Smales Farm before and after school.  Due to some incidences mainly involving older secondary students, Smales Farm has asked us to discourage our learners from cutting through on weekdays.  However, learners who are catching a bus or meeting a parent at Smales Farm may cut through.

Playground Behaviour
Yesterday, we had a playground fighting incident.  The learners involved have been identified and strong consequences have been put in place in accordance with our school guidelines.  Their parents have been contacted and fully support our expectations and subsequent consequences.  We are working with the learners involved to ensure that our school is a safe environment. We encourage learners to let their parents and teacher know about any instances of unacceptable behaviour so that we can take immediate action.

Please encourage your children to stand up for others and report anything they are concerned about immediately.  All reports of unacceptable behaviour are treated confidentially and are fully investigated.

Until the end of the term, there will be extra playground supervision in place.

Learners can also email concerns to Stopbully@tnis.school.nz

Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) – Camp Raglan 2021

Thu Feb 04 11:52am

Parents and Caregivers,

Takapuna Normal Intermediate School will start our EOTC programme for 2021 later this term between Weeks 7 and 9, 15 – 31 March.  Here is some useful information about what we have planned. We are looking forward to sharing this valuable opportunity for all of us to grow both individually and as a learning community.

Each team will be attending Camp Raglan for 3 days and 2 nights.
The fee is $235 and must be paid in advance of Camp.  This will be loaded onto your kindo account and you will be able to make part payments.  Kindo allows parents and the school to clearly see any outstanding amount.  We have also added an EOTC Sponsorship option to kindo – if you are in a position to help a family having difficulty with covering the cost of camp, we will use these funds to ensure no child misses out.

Adult helpers are a critical component to the success of Camp. We need at least 4 parents from each class to come and join us. 
If you are interested in helping at camp please contact your child’s classroom teacher. A police vet needs to be obtained for all parents which will take at least two weeks.  Please see the link below.  This form must be returned to the school with a copy of your drivers licence or similar.
A Google Form will be shared with you by your child’s classroom teacher to give permission for your child to participate and provide you with an opportunity to inform us of important details.
We will be staying in dormitory groups created by each teacher
Full catering is included, except for morning tea and lunch on the first day. The menu is typical healthy Kiwi camp meals. If your child has food allergies and/or dietary or cultural food restrictions please make sure their teacher is informed.
If your child suffers from travel sickness please let us know so that we can make arrangements.  The bus trip will be approximately 2 1/2 hours.
The activities will include; archery, air rifle, confidence course, kayaking, flying fox, low ropes, Stand-Up Paddle-boarding and orienteering.  Each activity will be run by qualified instructors.
A gear list will be sent out to all TNIS families.
On Wednesday 24/2, there will be a meeting for all parent helpers at TNIS.  More info to follow.

If you have any questions, please contact either your child’s classroom teacher or our EOTC Leader, Kevin Elmes at kelmes@tnis.school.nz.
