Jump Jam 🕺🏻
This weekend, we have 4 crews participating in the Dunedin Jump Jam Competition. For this to happen, Miss Hardie, Miss Sims, Miss Youngs, Mrs McDowall, and our student teachers, Miss Horton and Miss McLean, have given up many, many lunchtimes to coach the crew through these complex routines. We are so proud of the commitment everyone has shown towards Jump Jam, and we wish all the best for this weekend's event.

Maths Week 🧮
This past week, our school proudly celebrated Maths Week/Wiki Pāngarau 2024! It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to engage in activities that strengthened their problem-solving and reasoning skills, beyond the usual 1 hour a day of maths.
Each day, we held an exciting competition where students tackled a variety of math problems, drawing on their understanding of mathematics. Our learners showed enthusiasm and demonstrated perseverance with these tasks. Thank you to all the teachers, staff, and students who made this week a great success. We look forward to continuing to nurture a love for mathematics in our school community.
