WEEK 8
* A Huge Thank You to everyone for their help and support with Saturdays Gala. A special thank you to Carol and Fiona who put so many hours of time into the preparation.
The one downer for me was the hangi, the first supply of hangi having some undercooked and then the second supply being so late, I feel gutted for the guys that put in so much time to prepare it.
But we mustn't dwell on one aspect as the day was beautiful, we had a huge amount of people attend, the school looked great the White Elephant was a stand out success and people enjoyed the entertainment. WE'RE STOKED! Thanks
* This week we wish Dean well for 4 days in Marahau, I am attending Mon/Tues, Donna is attending Tues night and Wed/Thur. Tane is there for the whole camp. Dean Schneider is in Donna's Room.
* Student Teacher Tracey Williams starts in Andrews class this week.
* DANCING WITH THE STARS: Sam Hitchcock and Tamati will be at Stoke School on Wednesday at 11:15am. They will have TV crew and Newspaper journo's attending please prep your kids to show utmost excitement for a past student. The paper wants to focus on Nelson girl doing so well not Tamati hence they are starting at Stoke before going to Nelson Girls where they presume the Girls will mob Tamati. So do we do a banner, posters welcome back Sam? I don't know but hype your kids up so they know who she is, you can view past programmes online

* Hilary is not going to continue with the fruit as this is difficult with her injury, so she needs some jobs, I will get her to clean the staffroom, what else?
* David Kirklan Equating Study Rooms 10 and 9 off until further notice.
* Staff Meeting on Tuesday will be facilitated by Sarah looking at Maths planning, the idea is that the seniors will play online and the juniors will discuss ideas with Sarah.
* Admin Meeting on Thursday Dean Schneider will like to discuss an Enviro home awards programme.
* Keeping Ourselves Safe starts this week, I will be teeing up parent meetings with Evan, one during school and one straight after.
Have a great start to the week, with myself and Dean away Jane is Acting Principal.
See you all Wednesday.

Staff Meeting Week 5
Stoke School Staff Meeting Agenda

Notes of Interest:
Agenda: Admin Quick stuff:
• Coming back there is a feeling of stress. You are all doing a wonderful job and it is important to just concentrate on the basics. No one should be stressed regarding ICT(or anything else), we haven’t started, you are not expected to jump on any band wagon, all we need is for everyone to be open to new ideas and enjoy the possibilities that they present.
• Roll count of 178 is high and we are exploring ideas around opening a new senior class but this will mean losing the “One Day School” extension programmes.
• Please keep an eye on our blog to outline news or events: http://stokestaff.blogspot.com/
