Ngā mihi nui koutou! Thank you for supporting our CREST celebrations last week! We had so much fun planning it and seeing everyone enjoying the different activities. Congratulations to Whero Whānau Group who took out the Chant off! We spotted heaps of students being kind, there were some awesome posters for the design competition, the 3×3 basketball teams faced off on Thursday and little people power was in full force during the Tug of War on Friday!

Last week, we acknowledged Rotuman Language Week and the importance of preserving this unique language. We were fortunate to be invited to a special performance by the New Zealand Rotuman Fellowship Wellington Tautoga on Saturday. The Tautoga entertained us with traditional dances and songs and it was a privilege to see our very own student, Jermayne Inoke, take part! The afternoon concluded with a delicious hangi and a taste of Rotuman cuisine. Faiakse’ea to the Rotuman community for sharing their culture with us!

A huge shout-out to our fantastic Year 7-8 boys who participated in the Kapiti Have-A-Go Boy Only Tournament last Tuesday at Te Atiawa Courts! With 24 students taking part, it was a great day of friendly competition and showcasing their netball skills.
Special thanks must go to our dedicated parent volunteers, Rae Bolton, Karen O’Halloran, Jacinta Toa-Temara and David Marshall who managed and supervised the teams throughout the tournament. Their support is invaluable in making these events a success!
This past Thursday, our Year 1-4 students had a fantastic time learning the fundamentals of lawn bowls with a special guest coach – Brady Amer from Bowls Wellington!
The students were fully engaged as they mastered the art of rolling the bowls and aiming for the jack. It was a great opportunity for them to develop their coordination, sportsmanship and teamwork skills in a fun and inclusive environment. A big thank you to Brady Amer for introducing our young learners to this exciting sport!
Who will win and take the crown?

The Dragon shoots fire
The Knight grabs his shield to block
The Knight throws his sword
The sword hitting the dragon
The knight won, he gets the crown

In the holidays
I went to Argentina
With my mum and dad
Football
I love the world cup
Argentina is the best
I’m good at football
Argentina scored a goal
Football is the best sport now

The sun lights the way
But the sun is not the way
There’s a difference
Bright red scarlet leaf
Clinging fiercely to the branch
It’s time to let go
Your bright red leaves are a path
Slowly eroding away
