Kia Ora Whanau,
It is hard to believe we are halfway through Term 4. The
positive learning continues in all classrooms and the
students have been engaged and enjoying the learning
opportunities offered to them.
We had a successful school Athletics Sports Day on
Monday and it was a positive experience being able to
host this on our school site. The students performed well in
their events, and it was great to see so many whanau
members at school supporting their children. Although the
weather started off slightly miserably, staff were able to
modify the organisation so that all students were able
to compete in their track and field events.
The final ICAS results were announced and awards were
presented to students in ICAS Writing. Five Year 8 students
achieved Distinction Awards - placing them in the top 10%
of all exam participants across New Zealand and the
Pacific regions. Congratulations to all students who took
part in ICAS this year.
I was fortunate enough to attend the Super 11 Battle of
the Bay Competition this week, where our students
showcased incredible talent and teamwork. Throughout
the day, our school competed across five different events,
achieving multiple top-three finishes. A special
congratulations goes to our Year 7 girls, who placed 2nd
in their division! Overall, we claimed 3rd place, making it
one of our best results in recent years.
Ka mau te wehi!
