Community Swimming Lessons

Room 8 have been very fortunate this term to recieve FREE swimming lessons once a week for half an hour from the Community Swim Programme at the Manurewa Pools. They have qualified and experienced instructors with them in the pool, so they are able to work with students better. Room 8 are looking forward to the new skills they will learn over the duration of eight weeks.

Endangered Animals- visit to the zoo 31.3.2016

Yesterday Room 8 and 10 went to the zoo to find out about endangered animals (our new topic for the rest of the term) and ways we could prevent them from becoming extinct.

A huge thank you to all our parent helpers, without you this trip wouldn't have been possible.

Welcome to Room 8 for 2016


What an awesome start to the year we have had. We started off with a school powhiri welcoming new students, parents/caregivers and staff.

There are already so many opportunities being offered to our tamariki such as rugby league for the boys and road patrol which is rewarded with a trip to Rainbows End at the end of the year.

I am looking forward to working with you and your child to make this year, the best ever!
