Week 2, Term 1
Dear Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,
It has been wonderful to start our full programme. Specialist classes are now in full swing and it is exciting to hear the learning taking place already. Year 8 Sport started on Thursday. It was lovely to see the students out on the field. A reminder that PE uniform, a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle are compulsory. Also every student should have a NIV Bible at school. This is a requirement and it would be wonderful if we could ensure these are at school next week please. Our theme this term is 'The Wonders of Nature and Sustainability', and our memory verses will be connected to this.
