HELLO FROM THE PRINCIPAL!

Dear%Parents/Caregivers,

It was lovely to hear such positive feedback about our cross country event, in particular the beautiful venue we have access to. It is hopeful that during our rebuild we will be able to make even greater use of this community facility. Our students certainly seemed to enjoy a true New Zealand cross country, complete with authentic mud, turnstiles and bovine enhancements! Can’t get that in the double Grammar zone! How lucky are we?! We also had a record number of shoes lost in the mud at the finish line.

Special thanks to Mr Whatman and Miss Griffin for their hard work and organisation of this fantastic event!A great day had by all!
