Taekwando

03/09/2024
A huge congratulations to Alex Martin in Room 13 who recently graded and gained his black belt in taekwando! This is an absolutely amazing achievement in itself but to have achieved this by 12 years old is simply outstanding. Alex has been training with Mozhdeh Martial Arts since he was 7 years old!
 
Way to go, Alex. We are super proud of you!

Futsal

03/09/2024

This term we have had two very enthusiastic teams competing in the Interschool Futsal competition on Monday nights.  They have had a great time! Thanks so much to Tash Denison and Catherine Rice for managing the teams for us – without parent managers we cannot participate in these extra sports.

Thank you for supporting the Book Week events last week. We reckon that’s the best dressed Book Character Parade we’ve ever had! We love hosting it. You guys looked awesome.

 

Book Week

27/08/2024

Our annual Book Week helps to promote a love of literacy and if the sales at the Book Fair were anything to go by, then the reading force is strong at PBS!  Throughout the week kids enjoyed having mystery readers and other teachers reading to their class and the book character parade was packed full of confidence and creativity. Thanks to everyone who got behind us to champion reading and a love of books. Check out some of our photos below.

PBS Hockey 2024

20/08/2024

This is the final week of a very successful hockey season for our school teams. Mini Funsticks (Years 1 and 2) ran in Term 2, and Hockey for Years 3-8 has run throughout Terms 2 and 3.

We have seen lots of improvement in our players, and our Year 7/8s have enjoyed a taster of a full hockey field over the last few weeks, with the PBS team proving to be dominant in our 11 aside games against other schools.

We are very grateful to our awesome coaches: Paul Tessier, Clare Pringle, Daniel
Spencer, Jamie Tidy, Michelle Patterson, Mackenzie Shaw and Tanaya Suri. Without them we could not run our hockey programme.

This Friday we will celebrate with our end of season event at the turf, including some great kai for the players, sponsored by generous local businesses Blair’s Auto Electrical and Automotive Supplies Group NZ. Huge thanks to them!

Book Week

20/08/2024

Where’s Wally? Tomorrow Wally will be hiding in 7 locations around the school. Can you figure out where he’s been? Tamariki can check out the daily notices for more details.

The Book Character parade will be held on Friday at 9:10am on the basketball court (weather permitting). We’re looking forward to seeing everyone’s costumes!

Here’s some inspiration for you from two of our rockstar students Max and Ryan!
