We will be holding a mihi whakatau on Monday to welcome all new students who have joined us since Term 2. You are all welcome to join us at 10.40am. Next week, three of our students along with Mr Draper will be attending a golf tournament. Also, our netball girls are away at the UNISS netball tournament. I’d like to congratulate our netball team for the dedication they have put into fundraising for this tournament. We are grateful for Gina Drapers’ support in helping them to achieve their fundraising goals. Good luck to our students representing our school next week, and to those attending the AIMS games in a fortnight.

to the library and there are some “great reads” in there! All The Light We Cannot See is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and tells the story of about a blind
French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. This book is a must read!
