Kia ora Koutou, welcome back to Term 4. The last two weeks have been a hive of activity here at RVS, both with Superkids and contractors around the property. All of the work being done at the moment will not effect Attendance Dues, as it is from a different funding pool. We have seen more electrical work in E Block, continuation of the 'Den' upgrade, the Senior Quad readied for TigerTurf, the small pods moved in readiness for two larger learning pods, landscaping, paths laid and more. A huge thank you to all involved, particularly Doug Clark, Kevin Dickens and Darryl Hunt. The larger pods we have arriving are in lieu of full sized classroom builds, helping keep Attendance Dues down while providing quality spaces for smaller classes. Senior Prize Giving is on the evening of October 26th in the Elim Auditorium, prior to exams. I strongly encourage all Y11 to 13 students to be putting aside paid work, hobbies etc. to focus on study until the end of the exam period. Junior and Middle School Prize Giving will take place at 5.00pm on December 12th and is a compulsory event. This year we will be having our Junior and Middle School prize giving at the ASB Theatre as our auditorium will not be big enough to host all of us, yet we wish to celebrate together. More information regarding both of these events will follow shortly.

Nominations close tomorrow at midday for two spaces on the RVS Board of Trustees. Do you have, or know someone who has, a heart to serve the RVS community in this very important way? The RVS BoT is dynamic, positive and has successfully guided our school through a period of over 350% growth and establishment. I encourage you to consider it and others who have a heart for the school and its people. Late last term, Mr Newton took nine students over to Nelson to compete in the inaugural Tasman Secondary Schools Disc Golf Tournament. It was a very successful day, with our students winning every prize there was to win: 1st place Senior boys and overall winner: Lakshay D 1st place Senior girls (and only a stroke behind Lakshay): Rochell U 1st place Junior boys: Daniel dP Other awards on the day: CTP (Closest drive to the basket) round 1: Lakshay D CTP round 2: Hugo D Putting game winner: Israel M Friendly doubles winner: Lakshay D and a boy from Waimea College Lakshay also scored an ace (hole in one) on his throw of the day. Particularly impressive in that according to the organisers, that particular hole had never been aced before in any competition across all age groups. Well done team!
