Hello November!

LAST WEEK

A lot of time was spent on planning for the camps, both year groups are readying themselves for a great experience.  We had our school photos taken, and looking at the draft for these, they are looking really good, I hope you all have your orders in.  The school band got to go to Wellington and perform in the Battle of the Bands and although they didn’t win a prize, the experience was reward enough.

NEXT WEEK

CAMP, CAMP, CAMP!  The kids are just as excited about this as we are.  Both camps will be an amazing experience for each year group.  The year eights leave on Wednesday.  The year sevens have a leadership day on Wednesday and leave for camp on Thursday.  Both groups return on Friday afternoon, and they will be exhausted so try not to have to much planned for the weekend.

Assessments start this week with both classes beginning the final round of testing.  This is an important time for all students as it follows them through to the following year.
