Welcome to Pounamu Atawhai 2016!

Welcome to Pounamu Atawhai 2016 

Welcome back to school all! Pounamu Atawhai is a special place where the main priority is having fun and loving school life. There will be plenty of activities that will challenge your mind, thinking and approach to your own learning!

Being a senior at Riverdale School means setting a good example, a self directed approach and enthusiasm to your own achievement and always striving for excellence. We will expect you to take risks and give things a good go, support and treat your classmates with respect and motivate yourself to get things done on time and to a high standard. 

There will be some things we will be looking for in the first two weeks........

- Students with leadership qualities to help run our classroom.

(Do you help others? Do you listen to other people and form decisions? Can you work effectively in a group? Are you self motivated? Do you make good decisions? Could you be a class captain or sit on our class council?)

- Students with expertise to make our classroom unique

(Are you a sports enthusiast? Do you know your way round a computer? Are you highly organised? Can you run a reading or maths session? Are you musically talented?)

During the first two weeks we will be looking for people with special skills to run our classroom. Of course there are rewards and privledges that go with these jobs so be ready to show us what you have to offer!
