Special Visitors 

Last Thursday we were pleased to welcome Liz Watson from Stone Roofing in Hamilton, Liz is an ex pupil. She judged the houses that were designed and made by some children and was thrilled with the effort and technique many children used in their design.

The winning house was created by Cassandra Paraha Room 15. Cas was given a bag and lots of goodies for her great effort. Here she is with her whānau and another photo of other winners on the day.

Winter Sport - Netball & Hockey!

This week all children will bring home a verification notice to let whānau know what teams your child will be in for netball and hockey, and who your coaches will be. I am asking if we could have some whānau help (coaching/managing) with our year 3/4 netball teams x2 and hockey teams x2.
