THE DOCUMENT COMPANY

It’s down to the Parents, and having talked to some,

they seem to know their kids have them, but don’t go to the trouble I seem to, to get rid of the

blooming things. It’s not just treating the head, but stripping bed linen and towels and cleaning hair

brushes.

Back in the day, we’d have to go to the Nit Nurse,

especially if a teacher spotted a child scratching,

then the Parents were called, and the child had to

go home. I believe that, if the Parents are forced toleave their jobs, or, their precious walk up the

Centre of NZ, or their coffee meetings at

Lambrettas, then they will be forced to really sort

the problem out.

Sorry, but we’ve really had enough, night after night, stripping beds, treating hair, and only to

return to school the next day, and bang, there theyare again.

Now I do know that we aren’t the only school that suffersfrom this issue but we can be the only school where 100%of the cases are dealt with successfully. However, that willmean everyone in our community talking seriously thehealth advice we issue. There is little point only a fewpeople taking action because it won’t be long before theinfestation is fully blown again – Everyone Has To Act!

National Excellence In Teaching Awards (NEITA)In 1996, ASG Education Programs New Zealand (ASG)introduced the National Excellence in Teaching Awards(NEiTA) to conduct a program of national awardshonouring the vital role teachers play in developing thepotential of their students.

In 2007, ASG invited Cognition Education Limited, New

Zealand's largest independent education consultancy andservice provider, to jointly sponsor awards for both teachersand educational leaders. ASG Excellence in Teaching

Awards and Cognition Education Excellence in Leadership

Awards are presented to 20 teachers at regional level, and10 teachers nationally.

These special teachers and leaders are found throughout oureducation systems and it is of benefit to the teachingprofession that we identify and honour fine examples of inspirational teaching and leadership. These educators willnot only continue to shine as positive role models for

Pediculosis or Nits

These little gremlins make regular appearances at schooland when they do, every child in the class is sent homewith a notice asking that a procedure be put in place toeliminate the problem. Most people take the problemseriously and do the right thing however, it is clear that isnot the case otherwise I wouldn’t have received thefollowing letter (adapted):

I am sorry to complain, hate to have to do it, but, I

have been spending a fortune on products for

Head Lice, which has been an ongoing problem,

ever since my son got to NCS!

It really is a problem, and the poor kid ends upwith a terribly sore head from the Nit comb, plus

all the stuff, which is very harsh on the skin, it’s

something we all need to address.



beginning teachers, but also help build publicconfidence in the profession as a whole.

What Is Evolution?

Evolution is the theory of how animals, plants andhumans have evolved over time. Evolve means tochange. Charles Darwin is a scientist of evolution.

Charles Darwin travelled to many places and found outmany different things about animals and how theyevolve.

The lizard evolved from dinosaurs 80 million year agoand lizards could have evolved from a snake with 2 legs90 million years ago.

Scientist today continue to look over at Charles Darwinwork.

Animals, plants and humans are still evolving today.We humans have evolved - we are a lot taller than weuse to be.

Dinosaurs and things like that lived around 600 millionyears ago. The humans have only lived for 2 millionyears! (Paige Year 6).

Last Tuesday I went to the Hockey Tournament at Saxton Fieldto represent Nelson Central School.

At 9:00, all children who were going to the tournament had tomeet at the horseshue.

We were given our school tee-shirts and then put into cars. Iwent w ith Siobhan’s Mum and 3 other girl s.

Later when we arrived at Saxton fiel d, we all grabbed a hockeystick out of the car boot and gathered by the field.

While waiting anxiously for our games to start we hadsomething to eat. A lady was coming around taking photos ofour teams also.

I was in the year 3/4 mixed team. We played 5 games. Wewon 1 game by default and we lost al l the others.

I saw two people get hurt in the face by hockey sticks. One girlwas bleeding a lot and the other girl went off for a li ttle b itbefore coming back on to play.

Although my team lost a lot, I sti l l had a really fun day at thehockey tournament.
