Not self, but service In his will, Sir Edmund Hillary had a request for us:

“I have had a full life with much happiness and a share of sadness. I have little cause for complaint. If however, some people in New Zealand feel I have made some contribution to the prestige of my country, then they could best demonstrate this by continuing to support the Himalayan people I have worked with for so many years” If there was ever a time to honour Sir Edmund’s call, it’s now. The people in his beloved Everest region have suffered great losses. The schools and hospitals he built over forty years have been damaged and, in many cases, destroyed. The organisation that he founded, the Himalayan Trust, is dedicated to rebuilding these communities and to build them back better — so they are safe and earthquake resistant. This week, at CBS, our classes will be building mountains for Nepal. Each class will build a mountain from their donations. All donations, no matter how big or small, will help build a safer community in Nepal. We will be giving our donations to the Himalayan Trust to use on behalf of his vision. Please, help us build mountains. Did you know: On 29 May 1953 (62 years ago), Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

Shoes and Things
CBS Travelwise Survey
The shoes (photographed) were shown to all children at music assemblies on Friday afternoon. Nobody claimed ownership!
Week 3 was Road Safety week and we conducted a Travelwise survey to check how children are getting to school. 509 children were surveyed and here is the data collected.
The shoes can be found in the lost property basket in the little room in the bike shed.
41% Rode in car
These shoes must have owners somewhere
24% Walked Best rooms were Rm 13 and Rm 3 11% Car / drop / walk Best rooms were Rm 4 and Rm11 6% Scooter Best rooms were Rm 4 and Rm 11 4%
Biked Best room Rm18 - Well done Xiedan Urlich!
4% Bussed Best room Rm3 Conclusions
The junior classes are making a better effort to be Travelwise. Well done Rm 3 and Rm4.
The senior classes used cars the most.
Drop and walk: Drop children on East Coast Road or Beach Rd so they can walk safely to school. It helps reduce car congestion in the carpark. Use the Walking School Bus: Make friends and have fun. CBS we need to make a better effort to be Travelwise! Walk, bus, scooter, bike or drop and walk to school. Travelwise Team
“Not Self, but Service”
Wow our new Learning Hub is soooo cool (Not Self, but Service) Well done to all the students who are able to return, issue and re-shelf their own books. Keep it up!! At CBS we were fortunate enough to be able to buy a whole lot of new books and hence old books needed to be weeded out. We were able to help out a Decile 1 school in Hamilton who had no books in their library. See below a photo of them reading our CBS books - they love them! Joe Lanning, LIT Campbells Bay School
