School Survey The School Board and staff of Hebron Christian College desire to serve the Christian community of Auckland City by providing a Christian education service that meets the needs of all sections of the Christian community. We are keen to know how the school is meeting YOUR needs so that improvements can be made on our delivery of Christian schooling. An online survey will be available to you via an email message asking you to rate and comment on a number of issues to do with school life, teaching, curriculum, communication, etc. We ask parents (not children) to complete the survey before the end of next week Aspects of the survey analysis will be communicated to parents in the school newsletter but other aspects will be used only for professional development and forward planning strategies. Thank you for your anticipated co-operation in completing this survey honestly and accurately.
2013 School Fees A letter will soon be distributed to families with children returning in 2013 detailing fees and requesting direct debit authorisation. A 4% Earlybird discount is offered to families who pay the fees in full by 1st December.
Secondary Girls Swimsuits Hebron Christian College has a compulsory uniform swimsuit for girls in Years 9-13 to wear during PE lessons, at swimming sports and on school camp. Every secondary girl in Years 9-12 will need to bring their swimsuit for swimming lessons on the first Monday of Term 1 2013 (4 Feb). As the weather warms up and families head to the beach, often a new swimsuit is needed. So we encourage families who are purchasing new swimsuits to take into consideration that their daughter will require a school swimsuit at the beginning of Term 1. This is especially important for families of Year 8 girls to note, as this will be the first time their daughters will have to wear the compulsory swimsuit. At this time of year, girls in Years 9-11 should also try on their swimsuits from last summer. It is important to check the size and, if necessary, purchase a new swimsuit in plenty of time for the start of the swimming programme on the first Monday of Term 1. Every year we have girls who do not try on their swimsuit until the day before they need to wear it
