Hi team. I hope you all had a relaxing Easter Weekend. I can't believe that this is the final newsletter for the Term, with next week being the last week of Term 1. If I don't see you I hope you have a well-deserved term break and we can't wait to see you all back next Term.
Congratulations to our team of 9 tamariki who attended the Primary Sport Canterbury swimming comp on Wednesday 27 March at Selwyn Aquatic Centre. Each swimmer left the pool feeling good about their races. They all supported each other so well by showing our E Tu Tangata values - you have value, we succeed together and others matter. Ka pai swimmers.

On Friday 22 March we held our second whole kura assembly for the year. At this assembly, we saw some awesome tamariki recognised for their efforts outside our kura and they received a Home Grown Hero Award.
As you are aware the new Government has brought in new legislation regarding students bringing cell phones and cellular devices to school. This campaign has been called - "Phones Away for the Day". The regulations require that schools must ensure students do not use or access a phone or cellular device while they are attending school, including during lunchtime and breaks. This includes students who are on a school event outside the school grounds.
Last Tuesday Rata (160 tamariki) attended the Selwyn Sport Trust Fundamental Movement Spectacular down at Foster Park. The tamariki had a great time rotating around stations learning new games that developed their skills. The traditional tug of war seems to be a favourite amongst our tamariki and of course, riding on the bus there and back.
