What a great start to the week! Today's assembly was packed with powerful messages from talented speakers and actors. The Tūī Team reminded us of a wonderful message, that while we might not be "best friends" with everyone, we can always choose to be friendly and kind. A big shoutout to Evie, Jahsiah, and Jackson, who did an amazing job as the Tūī MCs. Our Road Safety Team took the stage to share some important reminders to keep us all safe. Next Wednesday (the final week of term), we have a special ‘Fun Gate Activation’ coming your way - more information will follow soon from the team.
And finally, a big congratulations to all our award winners today - thank you for being extra awesome this week!

Looks like there was lots of reading going on whilst your kaiako were busy learning about writing today. Keep it up over the weekend tamariki ma. Remember there's still time to go into the draw for the hand-held gameboy if you're registered on the fundraising website by Monday. Looking forward to some prize draws for all the awesome pictures at Monday message too! We're not far from that magical $10,000 number!
