Term 4 Week 2 Principal's Message Kia Ora e te whanau I read with interest recently, the voting for the New Zealand Bird of the Year. It's always amazing to see the vast variety of native birds we have, and which is most popular. During the voting period, different organizations made a plea for their favourite bird to be the winner. A popular choice was the Whio, the native blue duck in serious trouble of extinction. In addition, the fantail is always a popular choice, and then there's the kiwi, the yellow-eyed penguin and the black petrel to name just a few. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the New Zealand bird of the year for 2021 was not actually a bird, but a bat. That’s right - the pekapeka or long-tailed bat! Fancy that. How can a bat be our bird of the year? Its selection naturally caused controversy given that a bat simply isn't a bird. It does have wings and is native to New Zealand. In fact, New Zealand only has two land mammals, and they’re both bats. This is the first time our native bat has been included in Bird of the Year, and it has flown away with the title. These flying furballs are threatened by the same problems as our native birds - predators, habitat loss and climate change. The more we do to protect them, the more it helps their feathered friends, and vice versa. The bat’s win made me stop and reflect on the fact that we are a country where, as New Zealanders, we can take a wide perspective on a simple definition of what something can be. We are flexible enough in our thinking to focus on the whole, and what it means to be us. Totara School is one in which we have the same perspective, and I think that's what makes us stand out. At the Board of Trustees meeting last night we were talking about our vision for our Totara Kids. What is it that makes them so special? Why do they stand so tall when they leave us to take steps into the big wide world? My thoughts - at Totara, as a staff and community, we focus on teaching and supporting our students to understand that it is okay to be exactly who you are. You don't have to fit an exact mold - just like the bat. We encourage our students to use their strengths and grow their passions. As a result, we hope they learn to stand strong in their own skin. Of course we're always going to challenge them to achieve at levels even higher than they thought they could. But we welcome the different, the individual and that is something we should be proud of. And we value the same in our staff. Our staff and students are special, you totally rock! And with your ongoing support we will keep celebrating their strengths and passions. Tomorrow's the day of our local community trip. The students will be visiting Clarke's Mill, Totara Estate and Teschmakers as I mentioned in our newsletter last week. I can't wait to hear the stories they come back with and I'm sure you all look forward to them too. We thank all the people involveand showing our students around for making time for us to visit we look forward to sharing the learning with you
Ngā mihi, Whaea Sandra Level Two Update Kia Ora Whanau Thanks for continuing to follow our Level 2 guidelines. We hope to return to Level 1 soon but given the increase in cases in Auckland - it may not be any time soon. In the meantime, please note the new requirements for all schools :- · Mask use on School Transport - Face coverings are required to be worn by students aged 12 and over while on school transport (both Ministry and regional council-operated services) under all alert levels.
· School Drop-Offs - For parents conducting student pick-ups and drop-offs, these should occur in an outdoor environment where face coverings where physical distancing measures are retained and we request you wear masks - as per the Ministry of Education guidelines. While these are not compulsory, we would like to ask for your continued support in wearing masks and to remain out of rooms until we change levels or move to the new traffic light system. Parents, whānau and caregivers are not required to be vaccinated or tested in order to pick up or drop off children. There has been a change to the requirements for parent helpers who will be required to have had their first vaccination by November 15th for such activities as going on school trips, camps, RICH activities, sports coaching etc. I will send out a separate document around this to clarify the requirements set by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. Please note, we are duty bound to follow the Public Health Orders. These changes are not something we are introducing as an individual school but as part of our legal requirements and responsibilities.
Upcoming Events School Photos A quick reminder that your photo orders are due back on Friday. Please drop these into the office if you are wanting to order them. PTA Fundraiser The PTA had planned to run a quiz night this term, but unfortunately due to the Level 2 restrictions they have decided to cancel it. However instead of this fundraiser they are going to be running an eco product fundraiser. Products included in this are the very popular stainless steel pegs, bamboo toothbrushes and fruit and vegetable bags, along with some other cool products. The order forms will be going home early next week, check your child’s bags next week. Celebrations and acknowledgements LUNCH ORDERS No PTA Sausage Sizzle tomorrow due to our trip
Term 4 Week 2 Principal's Message Kia Ora e te whanau Whenever I am out on duty, or watching the students playing on the field, my eyes are taken to the Brydone Monument sitting on top of Sebastopol Hill. For those of you who, like me, are new to the area, the monument honours Thomas Brydon, who oversaw sheep processing for New Zealand’s first frozen mutton shipment to Britain in 1882 - if the sources I read are correct. As a part-time farmer, with 70 ewes and over a hundred lambs, it impresses me that our school sits in such a prestigious, historic area. Totara Estate had a huge role to play in this with over 10,000 sheep being farmed in 1881. It certainly makes my mob look small. When I gaze at the monument, I am taken straight to Ed Sheeran’s waiata - Castle on the Hill. The Brydone memorial is our castle on the hill, Totara Estate, our fields of history, and Fortification Road not simply our address, but a sign of our history, whakapapa and all that came before. We have much to be proud of. In honour of the history of our area, and I haven't even touched on the whole market garden history, our topic this term is Social Sciences. We will be looking at areas of importance close to our school including the monument, Totara Estate, Clarke’s Mill and Teschemakers. If our students are to be our future, then they need to be grounded in our past. If we can honour and acknowledge what came before, we can shine a light going forward. We look forward to hearing your stories of the past, and sharing what we learn with you during the term. I hope when our students leave Totara, they take a piece of this place with them and a sense of pride for all that came before and all that they will be. In the words of Ed, I hope that they will reflect on their time and think…. And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill We are already into Week 2 of this term and the time is fast disappearing. We will keep updating the term planner as events have to be added or removed. We are hoping to have our camp go ahead in Christchurch and will plan as many school activities as we safely can. We are aware that students have already missed out on a great deal over the last two years.

Term 4 Week 1 Principal's Message Welcome to the first week of Term 4. Over the holidays I actually found some time to stop, think and reflect on what had been a crazy term. I had just got settled into Totara when we were thrown into another lockdown. Those few weeks were spent really trying to connect with the individual student and with each of you as a whanau. Then we were back into school and straight into routine. My time over the holidays really gave me the time to take stock as to how my first term had been. I kept coming back to one question – what was it about this school that made it so special to me? Why did I feel so connected so fast? And then I realised Totara felt like home, like the school I had been searching for.
The Oamaru Mail has been chasing me for the last term, for an interview about my arrival at Totara. As I discussed with our Presiding Member of the BOT recently, that’s just not my style. Totara is about us – our whanau. If I was going to say something to the reporter, it would be this: Totara is a “heart” school. Many of you know that I breed horses – mainly miniatures. If you are lucky, as a horse owner, you might get a chance to share your time with a heart horse – one that you were destined to own, who you bond with on another level. You can’t describe the feel and connection, but it exists. I have one of those. She is a Clydesdale named Annie I have had since four months of age, and she is now 12. It just so happens she was born less than 3 kms from Totara School - another weird connection I have to the area. Totara School is for me, a heart school. It is one you fall in love with, and feel you could never leave. There is something indescribable about the place, something about the way it draws you in and let's you be just who you are meant to be. It shows in the laughter of our kids, the dedication and passion of all our staff, and the welcoming nature of you, our community. To each and everyone of you - I thank you for the part you play.
Word continues to get out, with five New Entrants starting up this term, and already four new students signed up to join us for 2022 including three who will be Year 7’s. The future looks bright and I am proud to be part of the Totara Team,
This is going to be a busy term and we will continue to juggle Covid and the Alert Level guidelines that come with it. We appreciate the way you continue to sign in, wear masks and help us keep things as normal as we can. There is a term planner coming out with this newsletter, but please be patient with us. Many activities may have to change or be removed if alert levels change. We will always endeavour to keep you up to date. There is also a survey link being sent out on behalf of the Board of Trustees and Staff to help us to continue to plan our future of the school. It is important that we hear your voice so please add your responses to the online survey or request a paper copy from the office.

School Transport Survey We have been approached to support a survey around School transport in the Oamaru area. Alyssa and Breanna Greaney are working with the Waitaki District Council (WDC) and the University of Canterbury to conduct research regarding how primary/intermediate and high school students travel to and from school. This survey will help identify the transport needs and concerns of Oamaru’s school community. They hope that by developing safe, low-carbon routes for children, we will improve safety, traffic congestion, children's health, reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Term 3 Week 10 Principal's Message Kia Ora e te whanau Welcome to the last week of Term! I am not sure about all of you, but this term has felt like two terms rolled into one. As a new staff member starting at Totara, I was just getting into the swing of things when Lockdown hit. We worked from home for a few weeks, and then back into school. On the whole, it was like we had never had that break. I am proud to say that because of everyone’s efforts, learning continued at home, communication continued between students and staff, amongst staff themselves, and between staff and our parent community. The support and care that was shown by all was fantastic. And then the students seamlessly returned to school once again. A personal highlight for me this term was our weekly school Zoom Assembly. We enjoyed games of Red Elbow, our combined singing all be it all at different times and pace, and even our staff baby photo competition. While we are not keen to go back to Lockdown again, I think we did a great job of supporting each other. As the new Principal at Totara, I personally thank each and every one of you for making my first term such a highlight. There is not a day that I have regretted accepting the job, and every day I have been able to find time to marvel at just how amazing our Totara Whanau really is. It seems that it is not just me that has fallen in love with Totara School. The word continues to get out and we are getting inquiries each week from prospective parents wanting to bring their students to our school. We are happy to be welcoming four five year old students into Karaka next term. We also have two Year 6 students who are visiting our school as soon as they are able, with a potential 2022 start. I just want to finish with a few administrative points. There is no WOW afternoon this term due to Level 2. We have also had to cancel our Student Led Conferences as with the busy term ahead this will not be possible to fit in. We will still be following our usual Term 4 reports. If you need to talk to your child’s teacher about progress, please email them. We can look at individual meetings when required at Level 1. A Term Planner for Term 4 will be out before the end of the week. We will also be confirming the dates for 2022 at the same time. Lastly, I wanted to take this opportunity to personally thank the Board of Trustees for appointing me as Principal. They have offered me a great deal of support, and have shown trust in me to lead the school. I am proud to lead such an amazing team of staff, with such an amazing student group and such a supportive group of parents, whanau and community. Please enjoy your holiday break. It is well deserved! We look forward to seeing you in two weeks time. Ngā mihi Whaea Sandra Level Two Update Kia Ora Whanau Thanks for continuing to follow our Level 2 guidelines. We hope to return to Level 1 after the holiday break and have guidelines ready to go for that return. We will be sending out a survey, hopefully this week, to gather your feedback about how Lockdown went - communication, home based learning and our return to school. Totara School Staff
Upcoming Events School Uniforms Our staff never want to be seen as the Uniform police, however, we do have a great uniform and our students wear it with pride. We have noticed a few students adding extra items to the uniform, including non-uniform polar fleeces. Can we please take the chance of the holidays to check we have everything ready to go for Term 4. We would also like you to take this chance to find your child’s sun hat, ready to go! Touch Teams There is the chance to enter touch teams again but we need to know urgently if your child would like to play. We also need some coaches/managers for each team. Please contact Aimee in the office via email if you would like your child to play and also if you can help coach a team. Celebrations and acknowledgements

Term 3 Week 9 Principal's Message Kia Ora e te whanau My Inspiration to be the best teacher and principal has come from many sources in my life. Sometimes it has come from the powerful words carefully scripted by an author with a message. One such example are the words of Maya Angelou shown below. At other times my inspiration has come from a stunning masterpiece, painstakingly created by someone with a message to share but in a visual way. Or in the simple moment drawing breath on a sunny morning and hearing the laughter of family and friends. This week, inspiration for me has come from two sources. Firstly, it came from a message I received over the weekend. The message simply asked if we had plans to clean up after our hedge trimmer and then stated we are going over to school to clean up all the hedge trimmings on the roadside and inside the grounds. These families headed over on what was an already busy Sunday for them, and set to work. The results - fantastic! The students appreciated the effort put in and jumped in to help finish off today. The simple act of stepping in without hesitation to help is truly inspirational, and something I will look to pay forward. The second source of inspiration came from our students themselves. Seniors took it upon themselves to set up a great lunchtime game which lasted most of the lunch break. It catered for all levels and resulted in many laughs. One student sat on the sideline watching, unsure quite how to join in. When I went over with him, a senior student came over and offered to help. Five minutes later, the student was in the midst of the game, surrounded by students and also having a great time. The simple act of that senior student, to ensure all students were involved was inspiring. To that student (you know who you are) and to the others that followed suit, we thank you. Since I started at Totara School, things have been hectic. Four weeks in and lockdown hit. A few weeks later, and we're back at school and in routine. While things are a little different right now, the students are taking it all in their stride thanks to your support. We have again updated the term planner - see below. While many things have been postponed or cancelled it won’t be long until we are back at Level 1. Until then, I hope that you find moments of inspiration in your day that keep you motivated. Every day I am grateful that I work at Totara School. Together, we make a great team. Ngā mihi Whaea Sandra Level Two Update Kia Ora Whanau After the announcement today from Jacina Ardern, we look set to be at Level 2 for the rest of the term. We have therefore made the decision to cancel the WOW afternoon for this term, but am sure we will make up for it next term. Thanks to all of you who have been following our Level 2 Guidelines. We are adding them below just to keep them in the forefront of everyone’s minds. Thanks everyone. Totara School Staff
Level Two Guidelines We thought it timely to remind you of our key Level 2 guidelines so here they are. We are also limiting external visitors at this time including pre-school visits to help keep our students safe.

Term 3 Week 8 Principal's Message Kia Ora e te whanau Well - we made it. We got through another lockdown and have returned to school with smiles on our faces. After receiving numerous emails from students and staff (and the odd parent) saying We miss School! It was great to welcome everyone back. Again we want to thank you for all your hard work during this time. I am posting below my Thanks message from Facebook and Seesaw as I think it is worth mentioning again. (See below) We would also like to thank you for following our Level 2 guidelines, dropping off at the gate or door and using our QR scanner. Let’s hope we move to Level 1 shortly. In the meantime, please be aware there is a tummy bug doing the rounds at school and the community. If your child is sick, please do keep them home. Since being back at school, we have been working hard to get students back into routines and settled. This has been very successful and we have noticed the students really enjoying being able to spend time with their friends. Many activities were cancelled due to the Lockdown so we are in the midst of rescheduling events such as our Student-Led Conferences and our Staff Only Day. We will update you as soon as we can. This week is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori and we have been celebrating by using as much Te Reo as possible. There are new songs/waiata being learned, daily words and language activities in most classes. Please feel free to ask your child what they have been learning. Please continue to message or email us with any questions or ideas. We will be carrying out a post-lockdown survey before the end of the term to hear how things went for you in terms of our communication and home learning. We look forward to hearing from you all. Ngā mihi Whaea Sandra Level Three and Four Thanks Kia Ora Whanau Today's image is a bouquet dedicated to all of our amazing Totara Whanau. It goes to each and every parent, grandparent, whanau member and friend who supported our amazing Totara Students over lockdown. It also goes to each and every one of you for helping make the pathway back to school a smooth one. We were greeted with your smiles and words of thanks at the gate this morning. You all did a great job of scanning our QR code, and dropping at the gate and door. We thank you. The bouquet also goes out to our staff. You seamlessly pathed the way for our students to continue learning during lockdown and then to return as if we had simply been on holiday. Your efforts to greet our students and get them back into routine were outstanding - teachers and teacher aides alike. We also thank our Board of Trustees for their ongoing support during Level 4 and 3. This bouquet also goes to our bus driver who welcomed our students back onto the bus today, like they were returning from just a weekend break. And lastly but not least, this bouquet goes to our amazingly resilient students. Today you showed us all of your RICH values. You came back with smiles and a desire to be in routine. You worked hard, played with your friends, and shone as brightly as ever. It is days like this, when we could have lots to be worried about, that we truly realise how lucky we are to be part of the Totara Bubble. To each and every one of you, a huge thank you. Now we get to do it all over again tomorrow. Totara School Staff

Term 3 Week 4 Principal's Message I hope this newsletter finds you enjoying some whanau time and sunshine. Today I am sitting writing this newsletter in a very different context to what I expected. Rather than sitting in my office, I am at the dining table having just come in from counting more lambs. We have been plunged into Level 4 and once again restrictions apply. This time is different though as we have experienced before. We have robust plans in place, systems that work and, as always, a can-do attitude. Teaching staff have already had their first This newsletter will not be the usual one but contains important information about the next few days and beyond. Of course, we will have to await and see what happens with the announcements before firm decisions can be made. Until then, please connect with us via Seesaw or phone. Instructions on how to access Seesaw if you are new or need a reminder have been sent out along with a video. Please do reach out if you have any questions or need assistance. Further information will follow once we know more about next week. Ngā mihi Whaea Sandra School Closure - Wednesday to Friday The nation is heading into Covid Level 4 as of 11:59pm last night. Totara School will be closed for the next three days, Wednesday 18th August 2021 - Friday 20th August 2021. Beyond those dates we don't know the situation but will advise you as soon as we know more. It's possible that we will stay in Level 4, or move to level 3. At the moment the lockdown is very short so will not impact learning significantly. Over the next three days our teachers will be preparing to deliver home learning from next week, if required. They may put small bits and pieces on Seesaw but please do not expect a full programme of work. As a school we are very happy for your child to enjoy a mid-term break – read, refresh and rest for the remainder of this week. You may even want to spend the next three days in quality time with your kids, reading books, playing games, watching movies and generally having fun with them, and reassuring them that they are safe.
POSTPONED EVENTS Student-led conferences to have been on Wednesday and Thursday have been postponed. Whole Ski Day - Monday 23 August - this has been postponed. We have a possible replacement date of Monday 30 August but this will be dependent on a number of factors.
ACCESSING SCHOOL GROUNDS Staff are not able to access the school grounds over the next three days. In the event of an extension to the lockdown, we may be able to get together and distribute devices and learning packs for a home based learning programme. Upcoming Events - all TBC Week 5 - Tuesday 24th August - Youthtown sports activities Wednesday 25th - Hockey coaching afternoon Friday 27th August - RICH afternoon Week 6 - Tuesday 31 August - Friday 3rd Sept - Year 7 & 8 Technology Celebrations and acknowledgements Outstanding Student Work
