Thank you for your support in sourcing and creating costumes and for coming to see the show. We appreciate you!

A huge thank you to Miss Hardie for creating and directing a magnificent show!

Art Gallery

All of our senior classes have had their art gallery visits. The students looked at and discussed a variety of artworks and then went to the classroom to create their own artworks. Libbi from the gallery had many kind things to say about our students.

‘I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having your classes at the Gallery. They are kind, creative and very thoughtful tamariki and their kaiako’s are brilliant too!'

Scout’s Winter Challenge
