Hi Everyone,

We enjoyed our visit from Stu Duval this week and learnt a lot about drawing. We learnt what to do in case of an earthquake and had a school wide practice. 

Next week the school will be closed on Thursday 25th for the Teacher strike.

Have a lovely weekend.

Congratulations to our two kapa haka roopū who performed in the Tūhono Kapa Haka Festival on the weekend.  It was an awesome event. Special mention to James Gray, the guitarist accompanying our senior kapa haka roopū, he gave a powerful performance supporting the group’s waiata. Later, James stepped up again to play two more songs for the auditorium’s waiata tautoko. His musicianship was recognised when he was named Best Kairakuraku (guitarist) of the Festival — a proud achievement for him and our whole school whānau.
