Kia ora Waitetuna Whaanau, it was tremendous having Ag Day back in full swing. I absolutely love seeing our students proudly second year, adapting the content to showcase their pets and I love the opportunity to have our school community coming together. Good vibes! We're also immensely grateful for the help to ensure this event ran smoothly. Thanks to the team who ensured the rings were in place and to everyone who helped out in other ways. Thanks to the Senior students and PTA for running the food stall. It was also great to have Caged Pets back for the morning.
Congratulations to Xander Browne who received Champion at our School Ag Day and Chloe Cann who earnt Reserve Champion.
Thanks to Fiona and the team at Te Mata School for running the Group Day. What a great event. Well done to Emma Berejoni for her efforts at Group Day.
After recovering from their overnight camp last week the Middle Room students were back out in our wonderful local environment at Kura Awa.
