Interschool Speech Competition:

A special congratulations to Oscar who won the Year 7 category, coming 1st place!

Koru Games:

What a wonderful three days half of our hub has had at Koru games. This year we entered teams in Basketball, Ultimate Frisbee, Hockey, Touch, and Kiorahi!

Thank you to the parents who were able to help out and support our kids doing what they love!

CPR Training:

A huge thanks to our Junior Neighbourhood support leaders Hayzel and Letta who organised CPR training for all of our Year 7 and 8 students. It was super fun and very informative.

Happy Holidays!

Finally, we wish everyone a safe and happy break. What a term! Full of wonderful learning experiences both in and outside of the classroom, also full of bugs and it is the longest term this year. We made it! Have a restful and well-deserved bit of family time and we look forward to seeing you back refreshed and rearing to go for Term 4.

Ski Day!

We are sure you have heard all about it by now, what an amazing day we had. The sun was shining and there wasn't a whiff of wind anywhere. Many of our first timers made it up on the chair lift, which was impressive. 

Here are some pics, we are working on a video/movie to follow.

Kauri Speech Competitions:

We held our 2024 speech competition in the hall this week. Our judges Tim (one of our Teacher aides) and Jo (Principal) were really impressed with the level of persuasive speech writing and the students' delivery.

Well done to all who presented and to Oscar Wood (Y7) and Harriet Parawa (Y8) who are going through to the Inter-School competition at St Martins next week.
