Kia ora e te whānau, today's House Carnival Day was a fantastic way to end the week. Thank you so much to staff and students who displayed our school values with positive enthusiasm:
- EXCELLENCE - Rau O Te Huia
- COURAGE - Ko Kauri
- RESPECT - He Tangata, He Tangata
- RESPONSIVENESS - E Tipu, E Rea
Students belong to one of five Houses named after our local beaches: Anawhata (black), Karekare (yellow), Muriwai (blue), Whatipu (red), Piha (green). House competitions provide a sense of competition and whanau support, through a range of school based activities, and are run throughout the year with points awarded for each event. The Leader Board, which takes pride of place in Student Services, will be updated to reflect today's participation points. The next time you are in Student Services, check out which House is in the lead.
Have a great weekend.
