Principal’s Update
Kia ora Waitetuna Whaanau, we have enjoyed a special week, even with the postponement of our visit to Aramiro Paa on Wednesday. Rob Hamill came to school last Friday and spoke to the Middle and Senior Room. He had some amazing messages after winning the inaugural Atlantic Rowing Race with Phil Stubbs in 1997. Thanks for coming to see us Rob.
Diwali celebration—it was great to come together for a whole school shared lunch on Monday and enjoy a range of new Indian treats as part of our Celebrations term 4 focus. Reuben the road safety bear—it is always important to have Reuben back sharing some important road safety messages— these include watch out for sneaky driveways, and children need to sit in the backseat until they are 12 years old as they have soft bones and the front seat airbags break bones.
Stones for our water feature—in consultation with our hapuu we are wanting to put a small water feature at the front of school under the mural out the front. If you have access to a range of stones ( up to 10cm by 10cm) and could bring some to school to contribute to the making of our water feature, that would be tremendous.
