A list in the staffroom on the whiteboard where we could write ideas for the PTA to consider fundraising for.

An arrangement where Pepeha are started in the junior school and passed on through the classes in the school so as students progress they can add a couple of new lines (sentence structures) each year. By the time the students leave our school as Year 6 they will have an informative pepeha. This will save teachers from having to ask whanau for the same information each year which must be annoying for them.

A common understanding that it is okay to share offices/spaces so teachers on CRT have a quiet space to go to, to work. The SENCO office is quite big and 2 people can fit in there- currently its just for one. No one owns an office or space. If all quiet spaces are full then the teacher needs to have the option to work from home....

# data[].attributes.body
PB4L is just what we need. It would be great if we can have teacher aides and caretaker all involved.....as they too encounter situations and would be good for the entire school to be on the same page in terms of positive behaviour strategies.

Consider  giving the responsibilities of PE and Whanau Engagement to the same person for 2019. It could be a position with 2 units as PE and Whanau Engagement go hand in hand, ie: The person doing Whanau Engagement is good at getting people on board and this might help getting more parents/whanau involved in their children's sport at school....it's worth a try to get maximum buy in/support/coaching of sport and also creates a leadership opportunity for someone in our school.

A cup to be awarded to a student for skills in digital technology. We have them for performing arts and sport etc, it might be time to modify a cup or get a new one so we can recognise those that are talented in digital technology.

PTA Movie Night - fundraiser, in Manunui, Pre-sell tickets. Snack packs could be ordered on tickets for $3. Blue means ordered snack pack, yellow means no snack pack on ticket. Parents must sign and add  cell number  on the ticket and bring this on the night. BYO water bottle if they want and cushion to sit on.

A system where each new student that arrives at Brookfield School has a full school uniform before they start in the classroom (including school sweatshirt)- to assist them with fitting into school even if we have to reallocate some from lost property if they are unable to buy them.

# data[].attributes.body
Run a couple of sessions aimed at showing parents how to download and use the Seesaw app so they can view their child's work and communicate with the teacher online.

# data[].attributes.body
Bring students and their whanau together in Manunui one evening and have a technology challenge based around some of the BP technology challenge ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
PB4L a priority for PD so we are all on the same page, are consistent and have a system that students are aware of. Better behaviour across the school will set the foundation for improved learning conditions and and increase in student achievement will likely follow.

# data[].attributes.body
Look towards getting another drinking fountain for students (we need a certain roll number to get another fountain funded),

# data[].attributes.body
Use volunteers (Eg: Reading Club volunteers) to go through and name the Duffy Books instead of children being out of classrooms to do the job.

# data[].attributes.body
An online system similar to other schools in the cluster where parents can fill out details and register their kids for our sports teams online at the time they make payment. Would save paper notices needing to be returned to school and save time.

# data[].attributes.body
A more collaborative/inclusive approach between mainstream and rumaki. Senior rumaki included in senior school opportunities and junior rumaki in junior school opportunities but the reverse doesn't generally occur even though some opportunities could be beneficial to mainstream students while promoting cultural inclusiveness

# data[].attributes.body
Consider renaming our houses from colours to something significant and representative of our community, eg: Takitimu, Maharaia, etc. Houses could have shirts with the name of their house on it. These could be a part of the uniform purchase or a fund raising initiative to create a sense of 'team' for students.

# data[].attributes.body
Look to totally get rid of them in their paper form unless specifically requested.  Perhaps we could say something like: "We are no longer sending paper copies of our newsletter out to each family. This electronic copy of the newsletter is the only copy you will get unless you have specifically requested a paper copy from the school office".

# data[].attributes.body
A seminar/session with take home handouts for parents on how to support their child at school and how to deal with challenging behaviour their child demonstrates....and perhaps cyber safety. We could get a speaker from somewhere like the Parenting Place. This would let parents of our students know that they are not alone with dealing with their child's behaviour. Parents could then form networks and have a process to follow. Could have a prize as an incentive to get as many parents along as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Students in the Senior School do not like filling out reading logs, especially boys. How about an app, that they could log into, to record their reading mileage....definitely something else is needed for these senior students. Also students that start part way through the year (we have many of them) have no chance of getting to 200 nights reading.

# data[].attributes.body
Look to further develop our school relationship between Brookfield School and New World, eg: the tamariki could go and work on the new herb garden at New World. Last year we asked for a ham for our Year 6 leaving dinner and we usually ask for apples for our triathlon.

In line with health and safety regulations we need a current Work Place Bullying Policy with clear procedures for addressing work place bullying that all current staff are aware of, this could be included in a hand book / guide for al new staff.

Developing leadership capability - consider team leaders relinquishing their unit and having no fixed team leader instead have the leadership on a rotational basis each term. This will help to develop a variety of people and give them an opportunity (many schools are now doing this).

# data[].attributes.body
Consider merits of having teacher aides in the afternoons for core subjects in the senior school. The children they work with are exhausted by the afternoon and so find it difficult to focus. It may be that we look to employ more teacher aides to work in the morning and less in the afternoon to meet the children's needs. SENCO or someone to notify classroom teacher at beginning of the day if TA is absent for the day. No transferring of allocated teacher aide time for another purpose, eg: if a child is ORRS funded then they are entitled to receive that time.

# data[].attributes.body
A standardised school wide permission slip / medical form that is concise and uses the school letter head for all extra curricular activities, e.g. Marae trips, Waimarino, etc. Be good if it was a google doc then could be tweaked to different scenarios as needed.

Teachers that hold units, to work across the school, e.g. Literacy/Maths to assist junior, rumaki and senior areas of school more, rather than just their own area. More cohesion and collaboration required, more sharing.

A system for teachers to know when TA's, specialist teachers etc, that are scheduled to come in to your room, are not going to be in. Often we plan around that and it can be very inconvenient if we are not told of changes.

Any courses that any staff wish to attend to be approved by Principal. Any release that teachers want to be approved by principal. Courses and release to be in the best interests of students and for a particular purpose. Outcomes of any PD to be shared with others so more staff/children benefit.

A more cohesive programme is needed to allow the team leader time to visit new entrants in their pre school setting to make connections and establish if any support structures need to be put in place before that child starts school.

We need to investigate whether using seesaw for full assessment would be preferable over Etap? Many parents love viewing seesaw for an authentic snapshot into whats happening in their child's day. Also, as some parents won't download seesaw due to data costs - we need to ensure we are connecting educationally on as many different levels as practicable.

# data[].attributes.body
No paper notes to be sent around during class teaching time unless urgent. Use email. Minimise unnecessary interruptions to classroom programmes.

# data[].attributes.body
To attach the school newsletter to the Facebook page in it's entirety so bits don't need to be copied and pasted. Using smore.com is one option similar to what Pillans Point do. Parents could then choose to opt out of receiving paper newsletters and we can save money and use it elsewhere directly on our children's learning, e.g: purchasing readers
