Kids Lit Quiz

We’ve got such a great bunch of readers at our school and our librarian Lucy was able to take two quiz teams to the Kids Lit Quiz a couple of weeks ago. They competed against a whole lot of teams from the Wellington region. One of our teams took 5th place and both teams really enjoyed it! Keep up the reading everyone!


Year 7 & 8 Information Evening - 17 June 6 - 7pm

Come along and hear all about our exciting and innovative programme for Year 7 & 8 in 2027.  This is a session designed for the adults as we will be speaking to our Year 6s at school separately.  You’re welcome to bring your children and they can hang out in the library while we chat.  We’ll meet downstairs in the Kākā (Year 7 & 8) space. If you’re not sure where that is, head towards the basketball court and you’ll see us! If you can’t make that session, you’re welcome to make a different time to talk to Harriette, Julie or Sarah. 

Interzones Cross Country

Good luck for Tuesday to all our competitors! Given all this rain, it might be a mud bath so be sure your child packs a change of clothes.
