It has been so nice to see the sun shining this week as Spring has arrived. The school has been a busy hive of activity during the last 2 weeks and WOW what an outstanding two performances of our school productions last week. Congratulations to our lead cast and all students involved. Also a massive thank you to Mrs Bartlett for writing and directing the production, also to Mr Crawford, Mrs Parker, and Pip for their help.

This is the last newsletter for term 3 and on reflection it has been a busy term- starting with our Matariki celebration week and breakfast, ERO visit, North Canterbury Cantamaths, Canterbury Cantamaths, Music Festival, winter sports tournament, assemblies and wharemanu days, Te Ngahere camp, Year 7 at Technology, Kapa Haka festival, school disco, Jump Jam, Cycle sense, Canterbury Cricket, and our school production. Good luck to all our students involved in the Koru games next week.
