We can now see the light at the end of the tunnel in what we can only say has definitely been an interesting ride! 

As we wind down towards the end of what seems like the longest term in history, we should take time out to recognise the amazing work that has gone on in our Kāhui.
From the Year 9’s building relationships and learning the skills of co-operation, patience, and resilience, in STARS, to the Year 8’s learning to manage their time as well as being role models to others. From our Year 7’s who now have a better understanding of our CARR values through the Kiwi Kaha programme, to the continuation of Wānanga time where we build on our skills to be able to relate well to one another, be prepared to learn, and emphasise our school CARR values.

It is time also to acknowledge our teachers who have worked tirelessly to provide choice around our Arts Kete. To recognise those whānau such as Brent Scarlett who donated tiles, glue, and wood panels, for mosaics, to the amazing work that has been produced by those budding ‘artists’ and ‘performers’ we have in class.

It's time to stand up and be counted for all the CARR cards, Carr postcards, ‘congratulations’ for jobs well done, a pat on the back, a high five, a well done. A time to celebrate, recognise and acknowledge a term well done. A deserved break. A teeny tiny bit of time out, ready to come back reenergized, revitalized and ready to do it all over again! So stay safe, stay warm and enjoy the break.
