He rau ringa e oti ai : Many hands make light work

We are well settled into the term. Our teachers and tamariki are into great school routines. We have been focusing on connecting and getting to know each other, particularly as we settle into our Homerooms.

It was with much excitement and eagerness as our Year 5 / 6 students boarded the buses on 19-21 February to head to camp at Woodend. We had 17 parent helpers joining our teaching staff over the three day camp. I know that the tamariki and whānau who attended enjoyed this fabulous learning experience. We would like to acknowledge and thank the Woodend instructors and parent helpers all who did an amazing job of supporting our teachers ensuring the success of the camp.
