Amua Camp 2017.


Our Year 7 and 8 students have returned from a very successful camp experience. A special thank you to Ms Kereopa for all of her hard work to shape, organise and lead this year's camp. It was a very special event this year and one that I am sure that the students will remember for a long time. She and her team including Granny Hetaraka, Miss Parker and Matua Hemi ran a tight ship at camp. The school is also very grateful for the generosity of the Highwire Trust and their support of the camp and also the Whitehouse Tavern Trust who also provided financial assistance to ensure that this experience was able to go ahead.

Our School Values.

This year we have five core school values that we are focussing on and building -:

Respect Honesty Co-operation Tolerance Responsibility

Each of these are equally as important and underpin our school principles for the year. Students will be discussing these in classrooms and sharing at home as part of their weekly homework. We encourage whanau to share their ideas about our values with their children and the school would welcome feedback.
