CAREY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 2024 S2 WEEK 14

Resting and being productive

You’ve got a long weekend coming, which is a good thing for a few reasons. One, you get a chance to rest, sleep in, and hopefully do something you enjoy. But it’s also a great time to get some work done on your assessments. Maybe you feel like it’s THE time to get things done. If so, we hope it is productive for you. But we also hope you take a moment to care for yourself, get some good sleep, and make the most of the time you have to crush your assessments. Have a great weekend!

Campus closed for Labour Day, 28 October

In case you didn’t know why we have a long weekend, it’s Labour Day on Monday, and campus (including the library) will be closed.

Monday lectures will not take place next week, but make-up Monday is happening in week 16 (4 November) for all classes missed.

The end (of semester) is near!

…but don’t panic! With the end of the semester a few weeks away, remember that ALL assignments need to be in by 15 November. Late submissions will NOT be accepted, unless you have approval from Neroli.

If you need an extension, please talk to your teacher and Neroli, and complete an application for an extension.

2025 enrolment

We’re sure you have loved your study this year, so if you are interested in continuing next year by starting another qualification, chat to Neroli!

Community rhythms wrapping up

Next week is our final karakia of the term, and you won’t want to miss out! With the Labour Day holiday, there is NO Coffee, Convo, and Cake on Monday. We will have our last community lunch Tuesday after karakia, however.

2025 fees approved!

We know it’s still 2024, and there is a lot to do before next year (Summer break, Christmas, and making it through this term, to name a few!). But, we wanted to let you know that the 2025 fees have been finalised. This includes the Student Services Fee—thank you to those who provided feedback! If you are continuing on next year, be sure to check these figures out. And if you haven’t looked at the 2025 provisional timetable, give that a squizz too!

Psalm 18:31-36

31 For who is God except the Lord?
And who is a rock besides our God?
32 The God who has girded me with strength
and made my way safe.
33 He made my feet like the feet of a deer
and set me secure on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand has supported me;
your help has made me great.
36 You gave me a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip.

Support is always close by

This is the time of year where deadlines get closer, and your stress indicators might be a bit more active. But don’t fret, because all the help in the world is at hand, and you’ve still got some time to make the most of it. Talk to the library staff, set up a Peer Writing Assistant session, talk to your teachers, reach out to Denise, Jarrahmal or Jacqui, or reach out to Neroli. You’ve got this!

The end (of semester) is near!

The end of the semester is approaching, and ALL assignments need to be in by 15 November. Late submissions will NOT be accepted, unless you have approval from Neroli.

Library tip—marking rubric

Are you aware that there is a marking rubric for every assignment? It is found in your course outline and is super helpful for understanding the requirements of your assignments. If you want to smash your next one, be sure to review the rubric thoroughly!

Course evaluations complete

Thank you for those who completed the course evaluations. Your teaching team will be providing feedback in class for relevant courses.

Your feedback helps us to continually explore ways of improving what we do, so thanks heaps!

SENDing 2024 is TOMORROW @7pm

SENDing is a special time in the life of many of our students. Each year, we celebrate and send (hence, the name) our graduating Intermissioners, Youth Pastoral Leadership students, and Pastoral Leadership students.

It’s pretty epic, and you’re invited to come along. Also, we will be celebrating our beloved Principal, John Tucker, who will be moving on from his role at the end of the year.

Here are the details:

When: Saturday, 19 October 2024 at 7pm
Where: Māngere Bridge Baptist Church

Check out our Facebook event for more details and to let us know you’re coming.

Community rhythms

As the semester is in the home stretch, it as important as ever to remain grounded. What better way to do that than by soaking in the Word and connecting with others? Well, karakia on Tuesdays at 11.15am is a great way to do the former. And, the latter? There’s Coffee, Convo, and Cake on Mondays at 12.15pm and community lunch on Tuesdays after karakia.

And then just casual conversations the rest of the time with your teachers and mates! Make the most of all of this if you’re on campus!
