Hello Members
Welcome to
2012. I hope everyone has had a good break with family and
friends and are now ready, like us to face the challenges of the
New Year.
It has been
good to se the Club doing so well over the festive season with
the patronage picking up along with the morale.
Our Manager and
staff have been working hard throughout, and we need to ensure
that we are there to help out wherever and whenever we are
needed. The priorities the Committee face are, signing off any
outstanding issues of 2011, including the financial statement as
asked for by the EGM, (an audit that is in progress, and being
carried out by an independent auditor) and the selection and
setting up of a Strategic Planning Committee. This committee
will be chaired by a member of the Executive with the rest
coming from the general membership.
I swill soon be
planning for ANZAC Day along with 1 or 2 other events yet to be
confirmed. Our first Committee meeting was held on Saturday 28
January 2012. The February meeting will be on the 25th
February. Thank you all for the support through what has been a
fairly tough time, but I have much confidence in the Executive
to get us through to the AGM and beyond.
Cheers Tam

Foxton RSA Trust Scholarship –
Citizenship Awards
Recipients
of the College Scholarship and the Primary Schools
Citizenship
Awards for the year 2011-12-07
Manawatu College:
Emily Pond
Emily
is going to Victoria
University in 2012 to study for a degree.
Foxton Primary
School: Atua Okawhenuaroa
Atua has been an
outstanding student from the moment he started at Foxton Primary
School. He is a humble boy, helpful and always positive. He is
popular with the staff at the school and all the students his
age and younger. This is probably because he comes from a large
whanua, He is the oldest in the Whanau and he has many younger
siblings and looks after them. Atua is involved with all sports.
He is a natural musician, and plays the bass. He is a member of
the School Band. Atua is also the boys leader of the senior kapa
haka team and has won awards in this field. Atua is a natural
leader and we are confident that whatever he does in the future
he will be well respected. It has been an honour to nurture him
towards his future as a born leader. Nga mihi Ahi
Oroua Downs
School: Dylan Lewis
Dylan has matured
greatly this year and is always willing to lend a helping hand.
He organised a fantastic fundraiser for our school camp and
sourced prizes and sponsorship for this. He has many passions
and commitments, one of which is rebuilding an old Prefect car.
Dylan has great manners and works well with younger children. He
is a gentle leader and hopes to be a Ministry of Fisheries
Officer as a career.
Coley Street School: Scott Hoffman
Scott Hoffman of the
school’s annual speech competition, which is a prestigious award
at the school. He heads to Manawatu College in 2012. H currently
has a huge involvement in all school activities and is popular
with the other pupils and staff alike. Scott’s future plans are
to study medicine and become a doctor.
St Mary’s Catholic School: Jayden Moore
Jayden provides vast
support and services within both our school community and within
the wider community of Foxton. He is a volunteer of the Foxton
Tram Committee and will be seen most weekends aboard the tram.
He organised a wonderful tram adventure and Teddy Bears picnic
this year, to raise funds towards Christchurch. He raised
$220.00. Jayden provides mentorship to our junior students and
is a well respected and well loved member of our school. He is a
true inspiration to those who have the privilege of working
alongside him. Jayden will be sadly missed by St Mary’s as he
heads upon his school journey to Manawatu College. We will miss
his love, courage service and his true sense of ‘community.’
Foxton Beach Primary
School: Hope Thomsen
Hope was chosen for
this award as she has stepped up and taken on roles and
responsibilities within our school, including services such as
being a road patroller and school leader. She gave her time to
the school to help teachers with jobs, and gave up a weekend to
paint scenery for our production. Hope can see the bigger
picture and offers to do things other children don’t want to do,
as she can see the end goal. She gets on well with her peers,
teachers and parents alike. She is often the ‘peace maker’
amongst other children. Hope shows a maturity beyond her age,
and initiative that some adults don’t have. Hope embodies the
sort of young person we aim to send on from our school and we
know she will do well in the future
