Interhouse volleyball is on this week - Tuesday to Friday at lunchtimes, either on the outside court (weather permitting) or in the gym. If you would like to play please see your house captain or house teacher.

This Friday is the Read-a-thon for students signed up and our book character day for everyone!
In celebration of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, throughout the week, come and see Peggy in te whare pukapuka and tell her about a pukapuka you have read that celebrates Te Ao Māori. You will receive a small treat.
On Friday, we invite everyone to dress up as your favourite book character to help awhi our students who will be reading for a total of 24 hours! Remember that the costumes still need to be appropriate and follow our school non-uniform dress code. If you are not dressing up you are expected to wear your school uniform.
He mana tō te kupu!
