Last week, the students had a fantastic time swimming with Henk, learning a drumming sequence, getting their green ticks on Maths Whizz, and becoming more familiar with classroom routines. It was awesome to see our Year 6 Leaders recognised during the Commissioning Ceremony, which I’m sure was inspiring to our Year 4’s. Level 2 procedures - Pedestrian gates unlocked at 8.15am.

Kia ora koutou,  I hope you have had a lovely long weekend and are excited for the school year to begin.  Firstly, thank you for meeting with me last week. I loved putting faces to the names of my students and getting an insight into the special people they are. I hope it has put some nerves at ease, especially for those children (and parents), curious about a teacher they hadn't met before.
