"The Journey"

Our school production "The Journey" was a success for everyone and the tamariki of Te Kanawa's Marae ended the trip around the world with a lively, vibrant street party in Rio. Renan lead the children on stage with his invitation to "Come to Brazil!"
The children performed beautifully remembering all the steps, and then leading the finale with "We Are the World". You can see from the faces that they are true performers. Well done team!

Crazy Hair Day

What a great way to end the term! It has been a bit crazy, but our tamariki in Te Kanawa's Marae have worked very hard and enjoyed their learning as you can see here!
Happy Holidays everyone!

Camp Highlights - What a great time we had!

We're all back from our camps after a fantastic experience - photos to come!

Cross Country - What a Stunning Day!

Wow! What an amazing day we had on Friday with the whole school giving it their all on the Cross Country course. In Te Kanawa's Marae, our Year 5's were first up - the boys, then the girls. It was a long way! 2.1kms through not only our school but the OLA site as well. Loads of the parents were there to support their children and everyone else. It was a wonderful event. Eadie was placed 2nd in the Year 5 race.
Then, after such a long wait, and the heat of the day very evident, our Year 4's took to the course and what a race! Zoe took out 2nd place for the Year 4 girls. Yay!
The whole class had a happy morning and they were fantastic cheerleaders and support crews for their younger siblings, friends, and buddies.

A sea of blue, red, yellow, and green!
