Tonight was an evening of celebration at our Senior Prizegiving.  Manaia ki te Rangi led the way with a another awesome performance. Throughout the night, awards were given to students from Year 5, Year 6, Year 7 and Year 8 for academic and sporting achievements and each group to take the stage to show off their dance moves!

Looking forward to 2021, we found out that FOUR students from Room 2 had been chosen to be school prefects -  a big pakipaki for Nina, Bradley, Kauri and Simon - we know you will each be amazing leaders next year!

Our night ended with a closing speech from our principal, Mr Burt and a karakia from Toby. 

Swimming at GI Pools - Lesson #3

All students in Team 5 have the chance this term to take part in 4 lessons to improve their swimming and water safety skills. 

Students walk to our local pool in Glen Innes for a 30 minute lesson from trained instructors. Each class is split into two groups depending on their swimming ability.

Each week more and more students are taking part - Week 1 - 12 students; Week 2 - 13 students and this week, 19 students from Room 2 got into the pool.

Next week is our last lesson and we are going to work hard to get EVERYONE, like Bradley, in the pool!
