Principal's News Week 4 31/10/25
Term 4 PBL ✅
As part of our Term 4 PBL, we have had some of our awesome whānau share their skills and expertise with our tamariki. This week, Ruby and Tily's dad, Liam, visited all the classes and shared the iconic Ranfurly Shield. Eliza's mum, Sarah, a former NZ cricketer, led cricket skills with the Pīwakawaka Hapori, and I know we have some other parents coming in later this term too - amazing! Please reach out if you can support in this space.
North Zone Sports 🏃🏻♀️
Congratulations to our athletes who competed so well at the North Zone Sports event yesterday. Your attitudes, behaviour and athleticism were impressive. I was a very proud principal watching from the stands. A complete set of results will be released as soon as we receive them from the zone officials.
