Contributions to School

This week have been busy for our learners. They have been contributing lots to their school community.

Hohepa was part of the kapa haka performance on Thursday. The Kapa Haka received 2 standing ovations!

We also had a number of students go to the cross country zones - Alexandra, Abeera, Kaia, Django, Varun, Ruby, Millie, Denise, Max and Hohepa.  

We also have some students (Alexandra, Raynah, Eunice, Qiqi, Max and Hohepa) creating school signs with Mrs. Southcombe. Looking forward to seeing what they have created. 

W11, T1: Cross country

It's finally here.

Weeks of training - beep test, running around the field and up the hills - it all came down to our cross country yesterday.

I'm very proud of everyone who tried their best and finish the cross country. I like the way you tried to compete against yourself and do your best all the time.

W8, T1: Messy Maths

Have you been preparing for EOTC week?

W6, T3: Speeches

We have been working really hard on our speeches last week. We presented to small groups or to the whole class. We used a google form to assess each speaker. These brave learners were keen to present to the class AND represent us in the speech finals.

Proud of Millie, Pene, Dian, Dishita, Srija, Abdul, Adriana, Aggie, Pearl, Nazia, Pooja, Joshua, Pranay and Ruby.

 Room 12 and Room 13 were especially proud of Pooja and Nazia who were too shy to present last year and decided to present to the whole class this year. Check out their speeches here:
