Support Staff Week "Celebrating The Wins"

This month has been a blessing for our very own Child Support Staff with our Pay Equity Settlement and we wanted "celebrate the wins" with the rest of our staff whanau at Pt England School. We put on quite a spread that day and were surprised with another morning tea on Friday provided by our generous teachers, Board of Trustees and our amazing principal Mr Burt! 
Even before the changes that have taken place we as  Support Staff members at Pt England School have always been treated equally and are constantly thanked and reminded that we are appreciated. I am thankful to be a part of an amazing group of human beings. "WE ARE HAPPY, WE ARE THANKFUL, WE ARE FAMILY"

Sticking to what we know!

   
 Home schooling is very interesting for both my kids and I.
I have always known that "teachers" are the true champions when it comes to multi-tasking but to do it with constant praise and reassurance is next level.
Cullai loves the fact that he gets to watch his class mates eat breakfast during their class hangouts in the morning.
Jane loves that she gets time to finish things off properly without any distractions or her being a distraction.
I still do the "eyes on me", at first the kids thought it was funny but I think it's not the same without a whole classroom full of kids to repeat after me. We are still sticking to what we know and always trying to follow the Pt England Way even at home.

Miss Timmi Gets Fit!

This morning I got managed to get up extra early to "Get Fit"!!

It was a beautiful morning for a walk and I ended up walking 10kms starting from Glendowie through to St Helliers down around Glen Innes and all the way back home. I have had a lot of time during this lock down to go for long walks and try out some YouTube workouts.

Better Living Everyone! Get Fit! Stay Safe!

We Support Our Principal

Have a go!

One of the best moments on the job is witnessing how a slight decision to give it go can help boost your confidence and is great for your personal growth. Miss Laura was a big part of our Pt England Girls Rugby Team and showed dedication, determination and most importantly worked on her personal goals for the day making tackles, improving her ball skills and had a whole lot of fun being a part of a team. 

This is the first sports team that Laura has been a part of and at school assembly Laura was awarded “Player of the Day”,  goes to show what you can achieve if you just Have a go!

“Safe Hands”

May 29th 2019 while our teachers were pounding the pavement on Queen St during the strike our Child Support and Admin Staff were pounding the chests of dummies in order to gain the the knowledge of how to try and save a life if need be.

Mr Humphris from St Johns was our tutor for the day and for most of our team it was the very first time we had ever done first aid.

Thank you for organising this workshop we found this to be very beneficial for us and our role within the school. Our team can confidently walk away from this knowing that our kids and our school are definitely….”In Safe Hands”

Mr Wright and Mr Hill to the rescue!!!
