Back to School 2012!

leanne — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 07:22:02 +0000

Welcome back to another year at school!

We are looking forward to a great year of learning and developments around the school. The new pool is underway with excavations up on the hill and a new brick wall going in on the edge of the dome where one of the sheds stood.

Please ensure all children have sunhats and sunscreen during these hot summer months. Also, please remember to have correct uniform at all times. Second hand uniforms are available through the office.

With camps, swimming sport events, the Go4it sports programme and busy classroom programmes, Term 1 is shaping up to be a very busy term!

Let’s have a great year!

Mr Lowes got into the spirit and opened the day with a beautiful bagpipe rendition. This was quickly followed by an amazing haka performance by Room 11!

Jump Jam Team goes National!

Earlier this term our Year 7/8 Jump Jam team entered the Jump Jam Challenge.

They had to perform a routine via video and wait for the preliminary results. We chose to perform the song “Pump it”.

Out of the North Island schools for the Year 7/8 Novice teams we placed 1st!

Watch this space as we take on the Nationals in November! Go team!
