EPro8 Competition: Our senior students enjoyed experimenting with the EPro8 kits at school.  We have a team going on to compete in the Year 5/6 competition at Ashburton Intermediate on Thursday 7 April.  Congratulations Jack, Lucas, Cohen and Alex.  We wish you well for the competition. 

School Council: Today our School Council members received their name badges in Assembly.  These students are selected representatives from Year 3-6.  They help to provide student voice and feedback within our school.  They also carry out a range of duties throughout the year and act as School Ambassadors when we have visitors to school.  Well done Silao, Bailey, Libby, Anabela, Elmarie, Ashton, William B, Mia and Tise.
