Week 3…What an amazing Pet Day!

LAST WEEK

We had an outstanding Pet Day. More pets than I’ve ever seen and a really lovely atmosphere all round. Well done to all of our students who stayed behind to help with the clean up. Here’s Luke & Luka being creative with their cone gathering.

Our Financial Lit. group were contracted by Mr Mackay to supply sausages for the unveiling of the Pou, carved by the carvers at Rimutaka Prison. It was a ceremony attended by many personnel of the prison, Papawai and school. Our team arrived at 6am to begin cooking for our guests. It was a freezing morning and not a complaint from them. Now they just need to make an invoice for MrMackay.

NEXT WEEK

Preparations for camp are in full swing this week. Excitement is mounting about all the great challenges that are coming their way. Please remember that camp fees need to be paid prior to the camp. Talk to Brigid if you have any questions, or Brodie for the year 7 camp.

Also, we are coming up to November assessments, so all students should be doing some revision as their homework. Students have been evaluating their achievements so far and are working on what they need to do.

TO NOTE:

The South Wairarapa Principles Association have done a great job of putting together the “Movin’ On ” conference. This is to give students a focus on the possibilities that are ahead of them. All the year 8 students have selected their workshops and are expected to attend this inaugural conference for kids.
