Te Taiopeka put on an amazing performance at the 2017 Otago Polyfest.

7YearS, an all year 7 Tahuna Normal School rock band performed at their best!

RESPECT - RESPONSIBILITY - CREATIVITY & SUCCESS The third term has nearly finished now and we can reflect on a very successful term with many students achieving to the highest levels in various sporting, cultural, performing and academic areas as well as the school being involved in a wide range of activities.

It was not only the audience who were delighted by Tahuna's performance but the organisors and Regent theatre staff who gave wonderful feedback.

This year Tahuna entered 3 Pasifika groups where each island was celebrated and fully embraced by the performers at practice and on the night of Polyfest. 

Please return all Te Taiopeka costumes to Mrs Rouvi in Room 1 as soon as possible. 

During the first week of term 4 Tahuna will host a Chinese Immersion Day. The day will be filled with fun activities that 12 schools from the Otakou Mandarin Cluster will attend.

We are still very angry and perplexed about the Peninsula Bus situation. Even more puzzling, were the comments from Go Bus South Island Director Nigel Piper in the ODT today. 

Korfball is a sport not many Kiwis would have heard of, or even known had existed. Over the past 4 weeks for PE, Tahuna students have had the opportunity to get involved in this new sport, assisted by expert coach, Manon Wiegerink (who has come all the way from the Netherlands no less!). 

On a wintry Friday, 19 Tahuna students braved the conditions to compete against schools from every corner of Otago. 

Tahuna recently had a presence in China with three staff members hosted by local government in Zhengzhou. It was an amazing experience coordinated by Harry and his amazing staff at nzcountingstars.com

Isaac Hobbs, Alex Clarkson and Ruby Anderson dominate at South Islands. 

Toriann from Rm 9 has done a really neat range of work during her Hard Materials classes.

Last holidays Tahuna students were devastated to return to school to find the concrete table tennis table that the School Council had fundraised for had been vandalised.

A huge thank you to Roger Belton, Managing Director of Southern Clams, for supporting this years Extension Camp to Rakiura, Stewart Island.

On Thursday the 31st of August the 7A and 8A netball teams represented Tahuna at the annual Primary Schools Tournament held at the Edgar Centre. 

Some great Aerobics success lately. Emma Green from R17 has written an article about their achievements.

Room 12 recently headed to Long Beach to utilise our new-founded skills in rock climbing.
