Kia Ora, Nǐ hǎo, Hallo, Greetings,
Welcome to our new students and their families that have recently joined us: Robin Liu, Queenie Shao, Harry Robinson, Archie Vivash, Olivia Knight, Mario Poomphuang, Lilly Thompson, Holly Thompson, Kaley Teo, Ollie Ni & Lucas Yu.
There have been science experiments galore going on across the school for our inquiry topic, which our young scientists have been thoroughly enjoying! This style hands on learning and exploration has really hooked in all of our learners. This has been complemented with Science in a Van and the Bone Lady.
Sickness
There are a number of bugs doing the rounds at the moment, with up to 72 students being off school on one day. We need your help to stop bugs spreading to other students and staff. As you can appreciate relievers are getting more and more scarce, and at times we are having to split classes for the day, which is not ideal. Please can we ask that if your child is showing signs of the flu, keep them at home until they are fully recovered. Also a reminder that students with tummy bug need to be kept off school for 24 hours after the last time they have vomited. We are reinforcing hand washing at school also. Thank you for your support.
Linc Ed
Staff are currently writing general comments to go onto Linc Ed, which will be shared with you before the three way conferences. We hope you are enjoying seeing examples of your student’s work, and logging in regularly to see you child’s progress.
If you are new to school, here is the link to our Student Management System Linc-Ed so you can go online and see your children’s progress. We are holding an open meeting on Friday 21st June at 2:15pm in the staffroom to answer any questions you may have about using Linc Ed or please feel free to contact me m.rowlands@bbps.school.nz.

To our outgoing Board of Trustees – thank you for your contribution to the students of Bucklands Beach Primary. Your governance, guidance and support has helped to ensure that every student has the opportunity to be a successful learner and reach their potential.
Being on a School Board of Trustees is a huge responsibility, and often with very little acknowledgement. I have admired the way the outgoing board members have taken on this governance responsibility and helped to steer the school over the last three years. Thank you for keeping the best interests of all students as the focus of your decisions. I know (as a parent) that this is difficult, particularly when there could be an impact on your own children. Your dedication to all learners is evident through our achievements.
As I reflected on the last three years there are a number of huge achievements. Some are regular board business but most are not. The following is a snapshot to remind us of this journey, the accomplishments and successes over the last three years..
- Closing the zone, reducing class size, and getting a new classroom installed to help with this
- Supporting the implementation of PB4L
- Continued development of effective collaborative teaching and learning practices, which resulted in a 4-5 ERO review and our best academic results to date
- Upgrading classrooms and property, including heat pumps and new interiors
- Supporting employing an Associate Principal to help run the school
- Supporting our students – who are happy and keen to be part of our school because they have a broad range of exciting learning opportunities, programmes and support
- The purchase of equipment such as robots, to support the digital technology curriculum
- Securing grants for swimming instructors, fitness equipment and more
- Revisioning the school
