Summer's back


The sun joined us today as we ended Term 3 on a high. The children and staff love having the warm weather back and let's hope that it is a good omen for Term 4. I'm heading away to Australia during the 2 week break, which I'm very excited about.

Voting is now open for our Photography Competition and everyone and anyone is welcome to vote for their favourite snap. The children have been using their creative energies to take some inspired shots over the last few weeks and you can see the photos they have taken on the main school website. It is really simple to vote so please do!

Happy Holidays!

Arts Week


The real sun is back this week, but last week the school was lit up in other ways, by the children's art work!

Arts Week was an unqualified success. Highlights included the senior school performance at the Ngai Marsh theatre on the Monday; a magical night of musical talent on Thursday; buskers in the playground every day; and the marvellous art gallery created with the children's work in the village all week.

The focus of the week was dance, drama and music as well as the visual arts. A photography competition was held through the week and we have some children with an amazing eye for what makes a good picture.

The children in Room 19 have been reflecting on the week and you can
read their thoughts here.
