Message from the Principal
It has been a busy week this week with swimming starting for our Year 0-2 learners. They
have embraced their new challenge and teachers are already seeing progress being made,
particularly with confidence and water safety.
Yesterday we had three groups of Year 5-8 learners representing our school out in the
community as well. Firstly, we had a group of senior kapahaka children supporting the
blessing of the new Warehouse Store. Then we had our first ever jump jam team performing in
the Community of Learning jump jam extravaganza at Lemonwood Grove School. This jump
jam team was open to any year 5-6 learners and we had five
children commit to the daily practices and show real dedication.
Well done to Carter, Ray (absent for performance), Sammy,
Ella and Jahna. Finally, a group of Year 7 learners were
identified for their leadership skills to be involved in the Be
Inspired Conference at Christ’s College. Thanks to our hard-
working staff who enable these opportunities to happen and to
parents who support our adventures with health and safety and
transport.
Thankyou to our three trainee teachers who finish their placement at our school today. All the
best with your teaching careers.
Please check out a lovely letter later in this newsletter that some of our awesome learners
received. And we are on the hunt for a vistab sponsor please for our health and safety sign in
ipad. (see info later in the Newsletter)
Thank you to our community for completing our community survey. We used this information
to help inform the BoT’s strategic planning day on Saturday. Simon McDermott, our BoT
Chairperson, will summarise the findings and actions from the day in due course.
Just a reminder tomorrow is a public holiday so school is closed! Have a lovely and safe show
weekend.
