NCEA Summary Reports & Progess Hui
As we move into the business end of the academic year, please note the following important checkpoints and events:
- Senior NCEA summary reports will be circulated to Whānau and Ākina Coaches on 11 June. These documents will summarise our students academic progress to date and will be the starting point for conversations held at our annual Progress Hui.
- The Progress Hui will be held on Thursday, 17 June, between 2 - 6pm to discuss student's academic progress to date and the overall plan moving forward with their Ākina Coach.
- Please feel free to call the school or email pe@hastingsgirls.com if you have any questions!
Board of Trustees (BOT) School Policies
We now use the online app “School Docs” to store and review our school policies so you can easily read our policies at any time. Each term, the school community (board, staff, whānau) is invited to review and comment on specific policies and procedures. This feedback is captured using the red review flag, which is visible in the top-right corner of a policy when it is being reviewed.
The HGHS BOT invites your feedback on the current topics under review:- Reporting and Recording Accidents and Incidents
- Bullying and Online Bullying
- Surrender and Retention of Property and Searches

If you want to comment or make a suggestion on a policy under review: click on the green speech bubble icon at the top right of the policy, and complete the form. The information from the form is sent directly to the HGHS Board. Feedback will be reviewed and discussed at a Board meeting. The current review closes on 8 July 2022.

Sideline Behaviour for Sports
Winter sport is on the way but we need to put another friendly reminder out to our sporting community with support and education around sideline behaviour when supporting our HGHS teams.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE A POSITIVE SUPPORTER
Data shows that youth are dropping out of sport. Whilst we recognise there are various reasons for this, research has indicated reasons for the decline (as stated by youth) are: They no longer find it fun, pressure to win/perform, a lack of confidence, and a lack of playing time. This initiative is about influencing attitudes in youth sport to make sure we are keeping kids in sport.
Children love being active and playing sport, therefore the programme is designed to support parents and caregivers (supporters) to help their child enjoy sport – and the side-line is only part of the picture. It also includes in the car ride between games, encouraging children to try multiple sports, and helping them to enjoy sport purely for their reasons for playing. Whilst they may be playing in a competitive environment, most kids play because they want to have fun! Research shows that the following reasons are why kids play sport:
- Have fun
- Hang out with friends
- Learn new skills
- Be fit and healthy
Often kids give up when they no longer find it fun.
