From the Principal's desk....
Stanley Avenue School became a sea of pink today as we supported the ‘Stand Together and Stop Bullying’ Movement. No matter who you are, bullying affects everyone at some stage in their lifetime. Talking to people you trust is a great way of getting help to sort the situation and putting solutions in place. Supporting and showing manaakitanga to peers who are facing tough times is so vital in order to help them through certain situations. A big thank you goes out to those Stanley Ave students, who consistently promote kindness and inclusion.
I am proud of you.
Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!

Piwakawaka Wetlands Walk
Piwakawaka students enjoyed our week exploring the season of autumn. We painted autumn trees with colorful leaves and wrote stories describing our walk and our close encounters with some very friendly piwakawaka as we enjoyed a beautiful morning stroll in the wetlands.

Purchase your Own SAS Sports Shirt!
We have gone live on DirectGroup Uniforms with our Sports Shirts that you are able to purchase. We feel moving forward this is a great option and will save a lot of time issuing and collecting sports shirts. At this time we still have our other sports shirts for anyone that is playing and has not purchased their own yet. Check them out at:
https://dgstore.co.nz/collections/stanley-avenue-school
You can purchase the sport shirts and they arrive directly to your address and they even have Afterpay so that it makes it possible to budget. We are looking forward to seeing these appearing on our sports fields.
