Kia ora e te Whanau

Our Manaaki syndicate went on an exploration trip to Napier City on Wednesday.

Classes learnt about the legend of Pania, visited the MTG and carried out various fun activities on Marine Parade such as scavenger hunts. Room 10 completed a beach clean-up.

I was so proud to receive the following email from a staff member of the Napier City Council this morning about Room 10's efforts:

"I was walking along the Parade on Tuesday and I saw a large group of your students doing a waste clean-up.

They had all the right equipment also.

I was super impressed with the effort they put in for about 2hrs it seemed."

"As I said, a huge well done to the students and I’d be happy to pass this onto the Mayor."

Thanks Maanaki Classes for representing our school so proudly!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Nga mihi,

Steve

Class photos will now be taken on Thursday 14 September as the photographer was sick this week.

Our Moveathon is coming soon!

Thanks in advance for all of the money you are collecting as donations! This is our major fundraiser for the year.

The Moveathon takes place on Tuesday 19 September.

Schools are granted teacher only days to focus on the revised New Zealand school curriculum over 2023 and 2024.

We opted not to use the first day earlier this year due to the disruption of Cyclone Gabriele.

We will be having our only teacher only day for the year on Tuesday 24 October. This coincides with Hawkes Bay Anniversary Day and Labour Weekend.
