Showtime!

Yesterday saw our year 7/8 students perform along with four other schools at the Motueka Hall. They spent the whole day there with two rehearsals in the morning followed by a matinee and evening performance. A long day but a rewarding day.

To have 46 students on stage, taking real responsibility for all aspects of their performance and the respect and pride they showed was outstanding. As a community we must be extremely proud of these leaders of our school, they were simply dazzling.

Massive Movie is available to purchase $20 - order at the office ASAP

If you were not able to see our take on the Massive theme of Discovery, you will get to see a version of this on Mask Parade night next term when as a school we take on the streets of Nelson!

Keep Friday 18th October free as we will all be taking part in this year’s Mask Parade. More details to follow.

Next Monday (weather behaving) Marama and Ramaroa nui will plant 400 natives at Lancewood Villa as part of a larger initiative to plant our waterways.

Next Wednesday school will finish at lunchtime (12:45) to enable Student led Conferences to take place.

Reports are in school bags today so please hunt those out.

Remember at Student led Conference your child will share with you their learning and teachers are there to share any further detail or answer any of your questions.

This is a real opportunity for you to be present in your child's learning in their daily learning space, seeing and hearing from them first hand what they are learning, what they are proud of and what their next goals are.
