 Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve NEWSLETTER 14 May 2015 -­‐ Issue 13 May 18 – Year 7/8 Technology Well done to all the children who gave it a go last Thursday at our Interhouse Cross-Country. It was so good to see how the pupils encouraged
each other and never gave up. This was the closest result we have ever
had, with Cameron and Elderslie sharing the overall honours.

interested in attending. I do encourage families to come along and you
will see how the school works from a new lens.
12 – Central X-­‐Country Yr 7/8 have technology next week so will be picked up from school at
8.45am and dropped back at school before 3pm.
19 – Southland X-­‐Country On Monday I took a group of young leaders to Dunedin to the NYLD//15
Leadership day. They had a ball and really took heaps from what the
presenters and speakers had to say. They will be presenting their
experience at assembly next week starting at 2pm.
On Wednesday the whole school will be taking part in the E-Zone Cross
Country at Browns starting at 1pm. Parents are more than welcome to
collect their children once they have run. For those who can’t, the school
bus will be running as normal. I do encourage you to come and support
your children on the day; this really does give them a boost.
