Acting Principal’s Message

by Sara Baker

Kia ora koutou! Week 2 has been busy and productive, with students involved in many aspects of school life. From learning inside and outside the classroom, to the Tough Guy and Gal event, language learning, music and PE, to acting, singing and dancing, our students have packed a lot into our first two weeks of term! Primary school years are about giving children opportunities to try many new and different activities in the areas of the Arts, sports, and in different subjects, which helps them become confident risk-takers, and to find out their strengths and passions too!
