One of the best parts of our week is pausing to recognize the mahi, leadership, and kindness our students bring to our kura. Whether it’s on the sports field or in the classroom, Share & Celebrate is our time to acknowledge the hard work happening every day.
We know our students are achieving incredible things outside of school, too! If your child has had a recent success that deserves a shout-out, please email the details to their whānau teacher so we can include them in our celebrations.
A huge thank you to Sarah and Sophia's buddy whānau group for doing a fantastic job hosting this week’s session!
Well done to all the ākonga recognized this week—we are proud of you!
