At Red Hill School - We are our own Taonga. (Treasure).

We are working with students to reshape how we think about ourselves and our learning. One of the key statements we are working on is -

At Red Hill School - We are our own Taonga. (Treasure).

We are working with students in four key areas - 
Taha tinana (Physical health) 
- physical growth and development.

Taha wairua (Spiritual health) 
- faith and wider communication. Unseen and unspoken energies.

Taha whānau (Family health) 
- to belong, to care and to share 

Taha hinengaro (Mental health) 
- to communicate, to think and to feel


We encourage whanau to share their ideas about how the school can continue to encourage our children to value themselves for the treasure that they are and the positive impact they can have on and with others.

Year 8's Prepare for Graduation

The Year 8 students are preparing for their last week at Red Hill School. Everyone is part of an item that is going to be shared on Monday night so every moment to practise is important.

We have all learnt to waltz so that we can dance with our mum's and dad's as well as dance to our "Happy" song.

We are all excited about 2017 when we will be off to High School. We can't wait!

Our Rainbows End Experience.

The Year 5-8 students were lucky enough to be able to attend the Rainbows End Reward Trip a fortnight ago. Although it rained for most of the day we made the most of the rides that we were able to take part in.

By noon the weather had fined up and a whole lot of schools had already left. This gave us the run of the park so we had several rides on all of the attractions. It was awesome!

Whanau Athletics House Day.

North Counties Athletics Day.

The Year 7 and 8 students took part in the North Counties Athletics Day earlier in the week. We all did a fantastic job and some of us have made it through to the next event. We are looking forward to the Interzone Competition.

The Year 7 and 8 Students at the North Counties Touch Competition.

A group of 20 Year 7 and 8 students attended the North Counties Schools Touch Competition on Thursday afternoon. They played with a positive attitude and fair play spirit. The competition was very tough and the students held on in all games to have one win, two draws and a loss.

Although we didn't win the overall competition we had a fabulous time and we worked well in our teams.

Roman's Fishing Experience.

Tuesday 11TH October 2016

Roman’s Fishing Trip 2016.

Roman got a new kawhai fat fish.

It was running away from my fishing rod and then the fish I had on my reel pulled me. I reeled the fishing rod and I caught It.

The fish I caught was bigger than me. The fish was so heavy that it almost pulled the rod into the water.

I went to Devonport with my brother Joel and my dad Brian.

My brother Joel caught 2 juicey kawhai fish I was so happy for my brother Joel. Afterwards we cleaned the fish then we went to home.
