Kia ora e te whaanau, 

and welcome back to Term 2!  I hope that everyone had a relaxing break and were able to spend quality time with family, as well as friends.  As we move into the winter months, we have another busy but exciting term ahead.  

This term we delve into the Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum, with our 'Big Idea' being: Maaori history is the foundational and continuous history of Aotearoa New Zealand and our school wide 'Compelling Question': What was the world of early Maaori settlement like?

Me tiro whakamuri , kia anga whakamua

If we want to shape Aotearoa New Zealand's future, start with our past.

Term 2 sees a group of talented and driven athletes prepare themselves for Sports Camp, which will take place in week 8.  This involves a range of different sports and activities - from Indoor Bowls, Swimming, Human Foosball and Rugby.  Miss Curtis and Luana are again heading this team - BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE!

Our cast members in the 'A Lesson in Time' Production continue to perfect their lines as well as practice routines, under the guidance of Fiona Greaves and her support team.  Tech Arts remains the same, with Year 7 students' needing to be at school before 8.30am and ALL students' are required to wear closed footwear. 

For important dates and events, checkout our Senior Syndicate Homepage.  I will endeavour to uploads photos and other information throughout the term. 

Kia pai too raa
