I want to take a moment to extend a huge thank you to our Taranaki team of teachers for their outstanding work on their production “Giraffes Can’t Dance”. From the creative set and costumes to the lively dance moves and carefully chosen music - every detail was amazing!
It was clear that they had all worked together as a team to bring this production to life and the excitement of the children, participation and engagement on the stage, and smiles on the faces of people in the audience were the proof of all the hard work.
Thank you for creating such a memorable experience, at such a demanding time of the year. You’ve reminded us all of the magic that happens when creativity and teamwork come together.
Writing reports is a time-consuming and detailed task, and I want to take a moment to thank all of our teachers for their efforts with these. A special mention also needs to made to those involved in checking and reviewing the reports. Their collective efforts ensure that each report is a meaningful reflection of learning and achievement.
Parents and whānau, we encourage you to read through your child’s report carefully and celebrate their efforts and progress. If you have any questions or would like to discuss the report further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.
Reports will be coming home with children on Monday 9th December. Mahi tahi meetings will be able to be booked from early next week - more information to come.
The sun was shining, and with hats and sunscreen on, everyone was ready for a morning of athletics.
The children rotated through a range of competitive and fun events within their age groups. It was fantastic to see them managing themselves so well and giving everything their best effort. Congratulations to all the children for being actively involved.
There are times when we come across activities we might not be keen on doing, but it was wonderful to see the children supporting one another, showing resilience, and rising to the challenge. We wrapped up the day with a students v teacher relay and I’m pleased to say that, once again, experience prevailed (unlike the high jump where Reggie got the win over Mr Hunt!).
