Desiree for her willingness to volunteer herself to help her peers;
and Miss Wills for making Buddy Reading fun and wanting our students to achieve and be successful.

Whakanui Week 3, Term 1

Wow! What an awesome Whakanui for Pipi! Not only did Tyler receive a Kia Kaha award with a duffy book, but for the second week in a row the Principal's Award went to a member of Pipi.  This week it was Pita for his HUGE effort with his summer learning booklet - fully completed and to a high standard.  To top off Whakanui, Pipi was awarded the Team Spirit award!!  We are such an awesome group of learners!!

Some of our awesome learners

Whakanui Week 2, Term 1

Today we had our second whakanui (assembly).  We were hosted by Paua who shared their learning about the Titiri o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi).  We got to hear about the early history of New Zealand - it was very informative.

Big congratulations to Sefita who has obviously made a good impression around the school.  Not only did he win a Kia Kaha award, he was also this week's Principal Award winner!  His commitment to learning and being a role model in the playground and class make him a deserving winner.  We all aim to be like Sefita.
