Tauranga Girls’ College Pauline Cowens Principal
Message from the Principal Dear Parents/Caregivers Welcome to our first official newsletter for 2017. Please read this document carefully and note all the significant dates, meetings and communication points. This newsletter can also be found on our website at www.tgc.school.nz . Welcome also to another school year and some significantly impressive outcomes for the last one! Our NCEA results for 2016 are impressive and I congratulate all our girls on their achievements, particularly those who gained merit or excellence endorsements. You will find the details of our NCEA results within the pages of this newsletter. Our school values of respect (manaakitanga), participation (mahi tahi) and pride (mana motuhake) will all be showcased and developed in the next few weeks, with swimming sports, athletics and the selection of
student council and our vertical committees. Please encourage your daughter to be aware of what is on offer (publicised through the daily notices, notice boards and assemblies) and to be involved. Research shows that being engaged in a precursor to being successful and we provide many opportunities for that engagement. Goal setting is also essential at this time of year and all students (and their families) should be planning what it is that 2017 will allow them to achieve and how to go about that. As the Maori proverb says “Ina Kei te mohio koe ko wai koe, i anga mai koe i hea, kei te mohio koe, kei te anga atu ki hea – if you know who you are and where you are from, then you will know where you are going”. Over Term One it will be our focus to help everyone here know not just who they are, but also what are their gifts and talents and how to use them.
Welcome and welcome back to another school year at Tauranga Girls’ College - it is going to be a very special one!

Special Assessment Conditions for the NCEA exams 2017 You can apply for Special Assessment Conditions for the NCEA exams if: your daughter has a sensory, physical, medical and or learning difficulty that affects the assessment of their classroom learning and might be able to overcome or reduced with appropriate assistance. New applications opened on 01 October 2016 for the 2017 school year.
What are Special Assessment Conditions? Special Assessment Conditions (SAC) provide extra help for approved students when they are being assessed for their NCEA so that barriers to achievement can be removed and they can have a fair opportunity to achieve credits. The support is used for internal standards and external standards (exams). Examples of SAC are use of a writer or a computer, extra time, braille or enlarged papers, or a reader.
How is an applications made for Special Assessment Conditions? Your daughter will need to complete a student application for entitlement to SAC form. These are available from the Deputy Principal in charge of NCEA, Ms Rowlands or from the NZQA website. The application will need to be supported by a report written by a registered professional, certifying the medical condition and or learning disability and making recommendations for the assessment of learning (SAC). The report must have been completed within the last three years.
What happens then? The school applies online through a very secure portal providing data and other information showing the need for the SAC requested. Applications close in mid-February 2017.
NZQA assessors may approve or amend or decline all or any of the SACs requested for your child on the basis of the information provided. Approval means that they are entitled to use the SCA for internal and external assessment (exams) for that year.
Who to contact at school If you think your daughter may be eligible for SACs contact one of the following people:
Glenda Rowlands: Deputy Principal in charge of NZQA

Date and venue to be confirmed We are all looking forward to a wonderful journey with your daughters this year.
Information for all Parents/Caregivers Uniform At Tauranga Girls' College we place high value on students wearing their uniform with pride as one way of acknowledging that they belong to our school community. We appreciate your ongoing support as we maintain the high standards for which this school is valued and recognised. All students and parents were issued with uniform information at the end of last year. Correct uniform must be worn at school as well as coming to and from school. If uniform is worn to town after school, uniform rules still apply. Your support in ensuring your daughters are correctly and appropriately dressed is very much appreciated. The school has implemented a withdrawal system at interval and lunchtime for students incorrectly dressed. This removes the students and their bad example from the
rest of the school community. Parents and caregivers are advised that correct uniform is essential, the withdrawal system applies to all students incorrectly dressed, and your daughter may be sent home to correct her uniform before she can continue to attend school. Tutors and teachers will work with students to monitor defects in uniform and to encourage them to have pride in their appearance and presentation.

grounds and the safety of students requires that everyone co-operates with all of the above.
Schoolhopper Fares 2017 The Bay of Plenty Regional Council has informed the college the of the following Schoolhopper fares for 2017: Student fares will be standard across both the Tauranga urban Bayhopper and Schoolhopper networks.
January 2017 By Foot, Bike, Bus or Car However your daughter travels to school, we need to ensure that she arrives safely. Students on foot must obey the road rules, use pedestrian crossings and avoid jaywalking. Students on bicycles must be provided with a bike helmet which they are required by law to wear.
Bus students require a bus pass and must obey the rules of the bus company while on the bus and the road rules when entering and leaving the bus. Parents are reminded that for any student who brings a car to school a PERMISSION FORM must be completed PRIOR to driving and handed in to Student Reception. These forms are available to all students of driving age and can be obtained from the school office throughout the year. PARENTS as well as students MUST SIGN THESE FORMS. Students must abide by the terms of their licence, restricted or full, and have permission to drive to school from their parents. The safety of all students depends on our controlling the use of cars around the school boundaries and checking that licence conditions are complied with. A vehicle register of cars that may be driven to school is held in the office. Cars should not be used by students during the school day. The roads around our school are very busy, parking is stretched by the volume of cars around the
Student Cash Student Smartride including Schoolhopper

This information will also be communicated via in-bus notices, radio and print advertising along with inclusion on their website.
ID Cards
All students will have had or will have ID photos taken. Tutor Group photos are also taken. Student ID Cards are used at school for library books and other gear issuing, for purchase of tickets and entry to social events to ensure that a student’s good name is safeguarded. They can also be used to get discounts at a range of Tauranga stores and to prove age for such things as reduced bus fares, movie tickets, taxis and lots more. If a student is eligible to catch a free bus it will be noted on the ID card, this is her bus pass. Students north of Bethlehem must pay $50 per tem to travel. They carry a special Bus Pass Card.

Attendance When a student is absent from school because of illness parents/caregivers are: to phone the school office 5788114 prior to 8.00 am and follow the answer-phone instructions or Email a message to the office using the address: absences@tgc.school.nz The student must bring a note to explain her absence on the first day of her return. Students who cannot explain their absences will be marked as truant. Parents writing notes for their daughters are asked to ensure that the following information is included: The student’s full name and tutor group and a legible (printed) version of the parent’s name as well as the parent’s signature, date and absence date.This information ensures that notes are dealt with promptly and that parents can be contacted should any queries arise. Where absence is known in advance the school should be phoned as far in advance as possible. Appointments for the dentist, doctor and other personal matters should be made outside school hours whenever possible. During a school term, students who require leave of absence,
prior to the event are to notify and request, in writing, to the Principal, the dates and reason for this absence. Students who achieve 100% attendance are awarded certificates. Employers value such evidence of commitment from young people. After school detentions may be given to students who have a whole day’s absence without explanation. Notice of this will be given to parents, and students will need to be collected at 4.30 pm after completion of the detention. Punctuality All students are expected to be in their Tutor Class by 8.40 am.
Campus Security This school is committed to providing students with a safe and secure environment. Security cameras are used on site at various locations. Students may also be video taped and/or photographed while in the school grounds.

Te Ara Aro ~ Learning Conversations for Year 9 Students This year parents of Year 9 students will be invited to take part in learning conversations called ‘Te Ara Ako’ with their daughter and her Tutor teacher. ‘Te Ara Aro’ means ‘Learning Pathway’. The purpose of these conversations is to give family/whanau an opportunity
