Reporting to Parents and Whanau 2023
The vision of the New Zealand Curriculum is for your child to be given the experiences to become a confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learner. Our purpose in reporting to you is to share information about your child’s learning, progress, and achievement during their learning journey at Rotorua Intermediate.
|
Term One- building a learning partnership
|
-
|
Progress discussions (a 15 minute parent/ teacher/ student interview) held across the day on Monday 20th March between 9am and 6pm. A notice will be sent home with instructions on how to book appointments with your child’s classroom teacher and with their Pathways teacher.
|
-
|
Mid year report will be sent home in Week 1 of Term 3. This report will give you information on your child’s progress and achievement in reading, writing, and maths as well as giving you an overall comment and indicating how your child displays our Rotorua Intermediate ‘Habits for Learning’.
|
EDUCA Portfolio of Learning: In addition to the written report, samples of your child’s learning will be shared at regular intervals each term through Educa. The benefit of this to you as parents and whanau is the opportunity to celebrate your child’s learning through real and relevant samples of learning across the curriculum.
|
|
These samples will include what your child was learning, how they know they were successful and what their next steps are. Our Pathways team will also share termly reports with you through Educa. You will have the opportunity to record your positive, supportive thoughts on Educa.
|
In addition to these planned events, we encourage you to make contact at any time with your child’s teacher. Building learning partnerships between parents, whānau, and teachers is vital for each child’s ongoing learning and success. We look forward to having this effective partnership with you over the year ahead.

WaiBOP Schools Futsal Tournament 2023
|
On Friday the 3rd of march 2023, Mr Parry took a RIS futsal team to the WaiBOP schools futsal tournament.
|
|
Game 1: RIS 1-1 Papamoa college
|
|
During game 1, we didn’t perform as well as we could have. Papamoa scored a goal at the end of the first half, but Hunter scored a cracker of a goal and equalized for a draw.
|
Game 2: RIS 4-0 Taumata school
|
|
We came back from game 1 and easily beat Taumata school. We played a lot better in the second game compared with how we played in the first game.
|
Game 3: RIS 6-0 Otakiri school
|
|
We came into the third game with a must-win attitude. Hunter had left by now but we still played exceptionally well and brought it home.
|
|
The final was a real nail-biter. RIS scored early, and we kept our lead for the entire first half. Immediately after the second half began, Mokoia equalized. We doggedly defended for the rest of the game, but within the last 30 seconds, Mokoia put one in the back of the net. We were gutted but happy to get second place.
|
|
The team: Hunter Te Kowhai, Max London, Cohen Bradbury, Jamie Bennett, Ryan Lei, Jimmy McFarlane, Josh Dudson and Caeleb Cianci
