Taking time to pause and celebrate our students' mahi, leadership, sporting success, and everyday kindness is always a highlight. Share & Celebrate gives us the perfect space to shine a light on all the efforts happening right across our kura.
Our ākonga are doing amazing things out in the wider community, too. If your child has achieved something special outside of school recently that deserves a shout-out, please email the details to their whānau teacher so we can celebrate them together.
A big shout-out and thank you to Brydon, Angela and Ly's buddy whānau group for doing such a wonderful job hosting this week's Share & Celebrate!
Ka rawe to all the ākonga recognized this week—we are so proud of you!
