Kia ora koutou,
What a treat to be able to see our tamariki in action at the Top Team Challenge last week. They were split into groups with children from some of our local schools, and I was really proud of their perseverance, resilience and team work. It was nice to see them shining as leaders.
Thanks to Anna Williams, who has put in a huge amount of work to gather auction items for our online auction, and thanks to Bryleigh who collated this for us. It is now live on our Facebook page, and finishes this Thursday at 8pm. We would love your support to share it around for us, and feel free to pop in a bid or two.
This is our last newsletter of the term. We look forward to seeing parents this week for our Year 6-8 speech competition on Thursday, and our junior assembly on Friday.
