Message from Cristal McKoy - Head of Primary School
Kia Ora Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,
What a wonderful week we have had here at Primary. The auditions for 'KingsWay's Got Talent' displayed an inspiring range of God-given gifts our tamariki have. The array of talent spanned from humorous joke-telling to roller skating, puppeteering to singing, dancing to the playing of a variety of musical instruments. Our student's showed courage, creativity and charisma. We were very proud of them. You can also read about some of the other interesting activities the children have participated in, in the Year Level Newsletters.
