Morena Room 15 whānau, Thank you for supporting your children to have such a positive final week of the school year. They were amazing during the duathlon on Monday, despite it raining and not being the best conditions. Our prizegiving went really well, Click here if you would like to watch it. Please excuse the error I made, the last 2 awards I gave out were for academic excellence, not diligence. It was extremely difficult to choose the recipients of the awards as all the kids had a terrific year and I am proud of every single one of them.  Mr McMillan has filled his prize cupboard up for the 2022 reading logs. Your child will be given a hard copy today, but I will also attach a digital copy below.  Once again, thank you for a fantastic year. I know your children will all be amazing seniors.  Nga mihi,  Sophie Bowie.
