Principal's Message
Kia ora whānau. As a Principal, there are many moments of pride in our students but especially when they step up and show initiative and leadership for the good of others. As you know, we are working towards building a new Year 3 and 4 playground and I asked a group of students to help design it. These students were given the playground equipment catalogues and worked together to decide what they thought would be best for the age level. Last Friday, two of this group, Ryder and Rylee, met with the playground specialist, Melissa, and shared these ideas. Melissa was really impressed that they talked about key aspects she hadn’t told them about yet such as Balance & body control, Overhead strength, Scaling, climbing and sideways movement, and Safety (BOSS). The next step will see a 3D CAD design coming back to us for the group to check it is what they envisage. We will also show all the Year 3 and 4 classes for their input before it is finally decided. If all goes to plan, it will be ready for use in November!
