Our Student Teachers

For the last three weeks, we have had the pleasure of having Rachael Daweson and Mya Cherry as student teachers. They have been working amongst all classes and have led a variety of lessons. They will be with us until the end of the term. We also welcome back Jessica Henwood and Theo Field at the beginning of Term 4.

Teacher for a Day

Well done to Mia Christian or should we say 'Miss Christian' who was our teacher for the day earlier this week. She took her job very seriously and had a literacy, Numeracy and a very popular Drama lesson planned for the day. What an auspicious start to your teaching Career, Mia!.

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

For our students who haven't quite mastered it yet, or parents who want to learn themselves, here is the video link from Rekindle that teaches you how to make it from Te Kou Kou leaves.
