Welcome to 2012 at Albany Senior High School. For 2012 we will be having staggered start dates for each year level to allow each year group individual time with their tutor teachers and all their subject teachers.
STAGGERED START DATES FOR 2012
- Year 13 Only - Tuesday 31 January 2012 in school uniform, ready for a 9:00 am start and a full day.
- Year 12 Only - Wednesday 1 February 2012 in school uniform, ready for a 9:00 am start and a full day.
- Year 11 Only - Thursday 2 February 2012 in school uniform, ready for a 9:00 am Powhiri and a full day. This new year level will be welcomed on to the school with a Powhiri and we welcome family and friends who would like to share this occasion with their Year 11 student.
- Whole School - Friday 3 February 2012 in school uniform, ready for a 8:50 am start on a normal Friday timetable.
UNIFORM
We have a very attractive uniform that has been designed to suit and to respect the young adults who attend our school. We have one change to make for next year. Up until now there has been a black school jacket and a black school jersey. From the start of 2012 students may purchase and wear their own black jerseys and their own black jackets. We would like the jerseys and jackets to be in PLAIN black.
Please be ready for the new year. The Uniform Shop, at the school, will be open from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm on Thursday 26 January 2012 and Friday 27 January 2012.
We are very keen to focus on conversations with your young people that really matter. We want everyone to be comfortable. We want to build relationships between students and teachers that are a key to good learning. We do not want to be put in the position of uniform police. That will seriously damage the wonderfully warm relationships we have developed already and that the students are benefiting from. The uniform is very reasonable and we want your support to make sure your student is wearing it and wearing it well. That is the respect and support that you and your student can show us.
The students are older now so in the first week of term 1, 2012 if a student presents at school not in uniform they will be asked to go home and get the correct gear. I am sure that will not be necessary.
We have a very high expectation that every student at Albany Senior High School will be in uniform.
STATIONERY
The stationery list for 2012 is available by clicking here.
This list is a guide only as senior students have more input in to how they organise their course notes for the year. Some students may even prefer to bring along a laptop or netbook of their choice and this is certainly encouraged at Albany Senior High School. It would be advisable to delay purchasing stationery until students have confirmed their courses in the first three days of school. During these three days, they will also meet with their subject teachers where they will have the opportunity to finalise any stationery requirements.
We look forward to another extraordinary year at Albany Senior High School in 2012
