FAREWELL TO KATH KEARNS
Unfortunately, Kath Kearns is moving on from AIS, she has taught in Room 6 for the past two years and has done an excellent job teaching our students and working within the school. Kath is an incredibly experienced teacher and we are lucky to have had her working at AIS, she has decided to move to Hawera and we wish her well. Joan Makisi and Freya Coote will be team teaching in Rm 6 for the remainder of the year, a separate letter has been sent home earlier in the week with students in this class.

WEARABLE ARTS
On Monday the 17th of September, a group of students from AIS went to the ‘Wearable Arts’ at the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington. The students who went were, Muhmina, Nadia, Zuko, Suhayb, Madasin and Tessa, Mrs. Herd’s daughter. We had a lot of fun designing our outfits throughout the term and the excitement of modelling them on the big night was well worth our efforts. We all really appreciate Mrs Herd’s time and help over the last term, and really enjoyed the performances on the night. We got home at 10:00pm, after a hearty dinner at Burger Fuel. We all hope we can be part of the Wearable Arts again next year. By Muhmina Room 5

GARDASIL INJECTIONS
Last week our Year 8 students who had returned permission forms received the Gardasil injection. There will be a catch up clinic on the 22nd November for any students who were away.
ATTENDANCE / LATENESS
As it is the end of Term 3, I would really like to discuss this now so in Term 4 we see a difference in attendance / lateness patterns at AIS. I am concerned that it is not being taken as seriously as it should be by every family at our school. Students need to attend school when they are able (that is, not sick, at the doctor/dentist or at a family bereavement) and arrive on time (before 8.45am when school starts, and if possible earlier, around 8.30am).
We will be following up on non-attendance and lateness to school in Term 4. Please contact the school on 5677453 or 02102715243 to let us know if your child will be late or is away.
