Our wonderful 'brave' students had a lovely afternoon at the park in the sunshine today. These students were selected by their teachers because they had shown bravery over the past term. Some had stood up to give speeches; others had challenged themselves physically with the William Pike Challenge; some had auditioned and performed in front of an audience; and others had stepped up with their learning challenges.

On Wednesday, our students had a coaching session with the Otago Volts at the rec centre. A massive thanks to Otago Cricket and the Otago Volts for a great morning. Thank you also to Otago Cricket for hiring the rec centre, so the great Spring weather didn't muck up our day!

Ahoy me hearties.... we are going to have some fun on Friday the 18th of September, and raise some 'Loot' for our local food bank. Tamariki can dress like a pirate for the day and bring a non-perishable item to be donated to the foodbank.
