- Netball finals – PBS teams achieved very well in the various grades (PBS Express 1st, PBS Galaxy 2nd, PBS Fusion 3rd!)
- PBS has Talent! Our Year 5-8 place getters really wowed us; Emily Kaye 1st, Bailey Paton 2nd and Devin Direen 3rd

- Kāpiti Coast District Libraries annual poetry competition – students of Room 11 participated and had their poems published in a book titled Āpōpō/Tomorrow
- A mother duck and her 13 ducklings also made it across the school field, safe and sound, during the middle of the school day, on their way to the local stream 🙂
Special thanks to these staff, who have spent hours organising events and supporting these groups of students behind the scenes; David Parr, Caty Spencer, Vicki Wilson, Teresa Robertson, Jalah Davis, Hillary Houston, Jessie Webb and Bek Sutherland. You are legends!
