Tahuna entertains South Dunedins senior citizens...and loved doing so.

Room 4 Hosts Mini World Cup

Room 4 students hosted 2 junior classes from Musselburgh primary school for a "Mini World Cup Tournament" based on stepping up and using our Tahuna values. Each group chose a country to represent and had to use their creativity to decide on a suitable activity to take responsibility for. Everyone was respectful to each other and we celebrated the successful afternoon with a medal presentation ceremony. A great learning experience for all involved.
