Kia Ora Whanau and welcome back to another busy week that lies ahead. This Monday we complete the 1st round of our rotations of our tech cycle. Students have been enjoying the awesome opportunities and learning that our tech staff offer and it has been awesome walking around and seeing the smiles on all the students faces. Tuesday we have our annual school triathlon so we are hoping that we get some awesome parental support for this. On wednesday we have a group of ruma rua tekau students participating in the East Coast waka ama regatta to be held in my hometown of uawa. The following students will be representing us - Y8 BOYS (Matariki Kaa, Daniel Tamanui, Harlee Kohn and Manaia Tuari) Y8 GIRLS (Phoenix Ngarimu, Skye Maurirere, Terina Maraki). We wish them well. On Thursday a number of our students will be representing us at the BOP touch champs to be held in Rotorua. These students have made our Y8 Touch Teams Y8 BOYS (Whetu King Taufa, Montell Chadwick, Brandie Hinaki, Irie Eyles) Y8 GIRLS (Peyton Riri, Ani Whaanga Smith, Wai Rawiri) I am so proud of them. I am proud of my whole class as they are doing well. We have a lot to work on, but I am quietly confident we can all reach the required expectations that we set for ourselves. They are high, but with the driving force of our school values behind us, these being RESPECT, INTEGRITY, SELF MANAGEMENT and EXCELLENCE we can do this. BE THE BEST NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS.

We are fortunate to have Shannon Ruru within our class who has learnt her amazing talent and skill from her Nanny. Shannon is passionate about this kaupapa and is keen as to share her matauranga with our girls. We are so lucky to have her in our class.
