A Message from Snell team
Last week 85 Year 7 and 8 students along with 9 parents and 3 teachers spent an exciting week at Camp Adair in the Hunua Ranges. Despite some very wet and cold weather the students were enthusiastic about all activities and took on all the challenges with a smile and a positive attitude. For many students, the most challenging activity was the Leap of Faith where they were required to climb a 13 meter pole, stand up straight on the top and leap out to hit a ball suspended in the air. Completing this activity required determination, strength and focus. Other challenges included the giant’s ladder, where students had to work in pairs to help each other climb the ladder, abseiling, high beam and of course an exceptionally muddy confidence course! Complementing all these activities was the field camp experience, here students learnt the secrets of fire building and stretcher making. They were also able to sleep out overnight in Camp Adair’s brand new tents and many possums were spotted! We had many comments from the instructors about the resilience, behaviour and attitude of our students and were incredibly proud of the challenges they all took on over the week. We would also like to take this opportunity to give a sincere thank you to the 9 parents and 3 teachers who spent the week with us and who ensured all the students had an amazing week.
Brain Busters TV Show
Monday night I come home from camp back in my own bed for an early morning wake up on Tuesday. My Dad drives me to the airport, where awaiting me are a whole lot more kids than I expected. When our parents leave the 14 of us trek over to security and get on the plane. After we land in Christchurch we shuttle down to the Whitebait Media Studio. As we arrive we find out our groups and get outfit checked and make up put on us. Then we wait, able to watch a movie, draw, play a board game or go on our own personal device. I really enjoyed the day. There were snacks readily available all day with special breaks for lunch and dinner. If you couldn’t guess I was lucky enough to go on TV. It was an awesome experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone because of all the cameras; but it is an experience that I would 100% recommend to anyone who wanted to try it.

2021 Class Placement Requests
This is the time of the year when the Senior Management Team are looking at our roll numbers and staffing needs and the preparation of classes for 2021. The process of placing children in classes is based on a range of information we have related to each child’s academic needs, achievements and social relationships. It is a complex process to create the right balance in each class and meet the best interests of all our children, one that we take very seriously. We invite you to provide us with any request for the placement of your child for 2021. You can email classplacements2021@kohimarama.school.nz We will consider all such requests although we are unable to guarantee that we can accommodate them. Please provide all requests before midday, Friday 23rd October.
