Kia ora GIS whānau,
What a fantastic week we’ve had at school! Our Year 5 and 6 students took part in the Cycle Skills programme, learning how to ride safely and confidently on their bikes – ka pai, tamariki! The dental van remains on site, providing important check-ups and care.
This afternoon, we celebrated Matariki together as a school community. A huge thank you to the Steve Farrelly Foundation for generously providing the meat for our delicious hāngī, and to Ms Pat and the Cook Island Culture Group for preparing the meal with such aroha – well into the early hours of the morning. It was a beautiful event full of warmth, music, and shared kai.
The best attendance for the week is claimed by Room 6 with 97% average attendance!
This week we celebrate the writing of Ali (room 7) and Sione (room 10). Our writing awards will be on display in the main reception area.
Congratulations to Yna, Angel and Keija, our lucky Matariki raffle winners!
