Principal’s Message

by Sue Cattell

Kia ora koutou katoa. Two of our Year 4 students, Stella Todd and Lily Drury, came to see me during the week with art work they had produced. They were so proud of this, rightly so, and their delight in producing an artwork that I told them I would love to frame and hang, was obvious. It reminded me of the emotional connections art can bring, and how important The Arts are in our curriculum.
