Year 9 Newsletter
Week 10, Term 2
Dear Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,
We have ended off the term with another jam-packed week with so many wonderful experiences to provide rich experiences for our students. Monday's worship was a delight, it is so good to see the students leading in these spaces and thank you to Mrs Gatman for the word shared from Psalm 103. We trust that her encouragement to give the Lord their best and not their left overs will be taken to heart by our Year 9 students!
A massive thank you to Mrs Stacey for all that she adds to our Year 9 team, we wish her the best as she leaves on maternity leave for the remainder of the year.
Well done to our Year 9 students for finishing the term well. We look forward to seeing their completed Renaissance tasks and Movies next term.
