Genesis Genesis
Bottle Top Tui for Conservation As part of our Conservation topic this term the Homeroom classes collected plastic bottle tops. With the help of Mrs McIntyre who drew our Tui outline we used hammer and nails to put each bottle top in place. We are so happy with how it looks and now just need to find the right space for it to go up on display!

Confidence in Being Dramatic Taking risks in class and performing for an audience teach students to trust their ideas and abilities. The confidence gained in drama applies to school, career, and life. This term the Ms Freeman’s Year 7/8 class dived into the arena of Fractured Fairy Tales, creating a whole back story for their character. The students showed creativity while having fun and learning to sustain a role. It was wonderful to watch each student grow in confidence and push themselves to step out of their comfort zone. Ka mau te wehi!
Student Attendance
Every day counts towards your child’s learning at school. Attending school gives your child the best opportunity to realise their full potential and do well in life. Who can I contact for health advice? If you ever feel worried about your child’s health, contact your doctor or healthcare provider. You can also call Healthline on 0800 611 116 anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for free health advice, treatment and information about what to do next. The guidance provided by Te Whatu Ora also contains information and links to other urgent and non-urgent healthcare providers or services that can offer the health advice and care that you need. Do I need to inform the school if I keep my child home from school? Yes. It’s important to let the school know that your child won’t be at school and to explain why.
