As part of our focus on Community this year, the Māhuri students worked with Rowan from the Dunedin City Council this morning to learn more about the new wheelie bins being introduced into Dunedin in July. There were some excellent discussions on how we can reduce rubbish, as well as learning about what should be put into each bin.

It is wonderful to have our new Room 1 classroom up and running this week. Mr Carvell and the Year 1 children have had a great week together and the children are excited about their learning in this classroom.

Spotlight on Possums Peninsula Schools Competition

It would be great to see as many families as possible supporting the Spotlight on Possums Competition, which runs from Saturday 15th til Sunday 23rd June during the hours of darkness. This is a fantastic way of demonstrating our theme for the year of “active communities have active members”. If you would like to get involved, please see the information in this newsletter. If you want a quick overview of what is involved in the event you can click on the link below to see the short 1 minute video explaining it:
