Share & Celebrate Week 7

Our Share & Celebrate events are a time to acknowledge and celebrate ākonga (students) who have been noticed doing something great. This can be for anything from an act of kindness, to great efforts in learning or taking care of the environment. If you have fabulous things your have been doing outside of school that you would like to share and celebrate, please email the details to your child's whānau teacher.

We would also like to congratulate our amazing student leaders who planned and led the celebration - Miesha, Emily and Ryan. You did a great job of organising and presenting. Ka rawe!

Adam C: We want to celebrate the initiative you have been showing, helping a new student understand the Treaty of Waitangi content. Without being asked, you have been translating the history of NZ from English to Mandarin. You are showing such incredible language skills and wonderful friendly traits, Adam. Thank you for helping your peers understand a little bit more about NZ history.

Justin W, Aira P, and Colin: We can hear you putting together the correct sentence structures and seamlessly pronouncing each māori kupu correctly. You are showing bravery by saying your sentence structures out loud in class and celebrating the Te Reo language by respectfully saying and using the words correctly. You are doing so well, you are beginning to influence your peers around you to level up on their Te Reo. Wonderful mahi!

Peyton, Dinuli, and Ariana: Congratulations on your seamless transition into our new and busy hub. You have done so well adapting to each new space in our hub, reading our complex timetable and embracing our school routines and you have often been seen encouraging your peers to be in the right space at the right time. We are proud of you all!

Tiffany: We are really impressed with how supportive you have been to some of our new students, translating for them and helping them to understand what they need to do. You also showed leadership in working with some younger students. Ka Rawe!

Harvey W and Xavier M: During tidy up time you consistently pack up your area in a timely manner and take it upon yourselves to help others tidy their space - Thank you for showing great teamwork skills.

Kandhan and Anant - During lunchtime, Kandhan wanted to play with you, Anant, on the bikes; however, he had not ridden a bike with two pedals. You showed Kandhan how you had learnt to ride and helped him to learn. Now Kandhan is confident to ride on the bike track! Awesome mahi, great support and great perseverance to learn a new skill.

Hanz: We have been very impressed with you in our reading sessions. You are trying your best to get your work done to a good standard and you are involved in your workshops. You are reading with great expression. Well done Hanz!
