Sharing good news spreads positivity, changes attitudes and ultimately leads to more people feeling encouraged and happy.

Check out some of the awesome things that happened both in and out of school! 

Dance

Matilda Down recently competed at an “Impact” dance regional competition. By winning her section in her age group, she then qualified for the “Impact” dance Nationals.

The Nationals were held in Wellington last weekend, where Matilda competed against others of her own age across the country to battle it out for the top 3. Matilda came 2nd for the 10/11-year-olds performing a Jazz routine. Congratulations Matilda! Great result.

Lego and Coding workshops

Our tamariki were introduced to coding, giving them a chance to collaborate, problem-solve and then trial their new skills.  

Waimapihi

Vera Pascoe shared her learning. 

Today we got to do Lego decoding!!! It was amazing!! We had to be in groups of three, I was in a group with Darcy and Ollie. There was a builder, an engineer, and a supplier. Darcy was the builder, I was the supplier, and then we swapped. Ollie was the engineer and he didn't care where he was so he stayed there. this was the finished product

Parumoana Swimming 

Both our year 5/6 and Year 7/8 swimming teams can be really proud of their efforts. From all accounts, our tamariki were very supportive of each other and made their voices heard when cheering on their team.
