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.

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

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!

CAREY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 2024 S2 WEEK 12

Life can get overwhelmingly busy with assignments, work, and family commitments, leaving little room to just pause and breathe. It's crucial, though, to find moments for reflection and to consider the lessons learned and how you have grown this semester. Remember to breathe deeply, relax often, and get things done. If you're feeling overwhelmed, our staff is here to support you every step of the way. So just reach out.

Coffee, Cake, and Convo Location CHANGE

Just a heads up that our Monday community time with coffee and cake will take place in the library mezzanine on Monday, NOT the wharekai.

Reminder about Due Dates and Extensions—Plan Ahead!

This is just a friendly reminder to check the due dates for assessments, and plan accordingly.

Assessments handed in up to one week after the due date are marked with 10% late penalty; assessments handed in between 7-14 days are marked pass/fail. Assessments handed in after the two-week period normally are not marked and receive a fail grade. So, be on time!

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

It’s Niuean Language Week!

Next week is Niuean Language Week in Aotearoa, and we are celebrating Vagahau Niue! The 2024 theme for Niue Language Week is 'Leveki mo e Feaki e Vagahau Niue ma Anoiha - Protect and Nurture Vagahau Niue for the Future'.

As a special treat, the wonderful Siale (pictured above) will be cooking food for us on Tuesday, so don’t miss that if you are on campus. While you’re at it, take a look at some of these Niuean phrases to use at lunch next week.

The Library

Stop in or email the library for anything you need. Also, they have an awesome Niuean Language Week display set up. But, if you need help with your assessments or gathering resources, come see them.

Library hours

Monday to Thursday: 8.30am to 6.30pm
Friday: 9am to 5pm
Saturday: 10am to 12.30pm

Library tip—word count

If you want to know what your word count is for an assignment in Microsoft Word, but you don’t want to include the footnotes, click on the Review tab at the top of the tool bar. Then, select “word count,” and untick the box that says “Include textboxes, footnotes and endnotes.” The number that shows will only include the main text.

Course evaluations—what do you think?

We regularly gather feedback for courses across our qualifications. Not all courses are evaluated every semester, but evaluations are open for the following courses:

Intermission

Learning to Live
Faith Engaging Social Issues

Undergraduate

Biblical Narrative
Christology
Faith Formation
I Corinthians

Post Graduate

Human Flourishing
Leading in the Footsteps of Jesus and
Research Methods

You will find the link to the evaluations in your respective Course Announcements forum. Surveys will close Thursday, 17 October at 4pm. Please make completing these a priority.
