Message from the Principal

We're up and running into Term 4!

Kia ora koutou

All of a sudden, it seems, we're in November.

Term 4 is a great mix. It's a time where we want to put a final polish on core learning programmes and also a time to enjoy some extra fun activity. Most of all though, we want it to be a time where our students continue to build on their personal and social skills. This means maintaining friendships, being kind and respectful in every facet of school. It can be challenging as our Year 8's start thinking about next year. My best advice would be to "stay in the present" and focus on making the end of this year an excellent time for all.

As usual, there are many great examples of student success in this newsletter. It's wonderful to see the wide variety of fun activities in which our students are excelling. I makes for lovely reading.

Our focus for the remainder of the year is to keep energy and positivity high and maintain all expected standards right to the last day. Sometimes it's the little things that can slip. Please help us by ensuring children get to school on time and in correct school uniform.
