Teachers and support staff will be attending a union meeting on the afternoon of Friday 16th September – Parents and Caregivers are invited to collect children at 12.30pm on this day. You may give permission for your child/ren to walk home (please contact the school office). There will be limited staff onsite to supervise those children who are not able to be collected early.

Percussion workshop for Yr 0-8 students
Our students were treated today to a fantastic interactive performance from Johnny “Rhythm Interactive”.
Staff and students alike had the most amazing fun once again with this outstanding show.
The highlight is the inter activeness and total “hands on” for all who take part. Johnny was particularly impressed by our amazing 5 year old’s who knew the real names for instruments – so great work Mrs Denton!

You may drop an order into the school office or order online at www.scholastic.co.nz

Last week our Year 7 Boys and Year 8 Boy/Girls went to the Counties Zone Cross Country at ACG Strathallan, Karaka.

In a highly competitive set of races we did an excellent job not only in our placings but the conduct of our runners with our school values on display. Our runners (Aidan, Haitham, Mackenzie, Nathan, Gian, Alex/ Blake G / Madeleine, Danielle, Marissa, Kataraina, Makayla, Paige M) A huge thanks to Mr Wilson and Mr Ranken for their help on the day and all the other parent support their to cheer on our wonderful kids! (Aidan has now qualified for the Auckland meet as he finished inside the Top 10)

Congratulations to our Year 5&6 students who represented Conifer Grove School on Wednesday at Te Hihi School.
The following students need special mention for their high individual placings on the day.
Year 5 Boys 1st Ranganui, Year 5 Girls 3rd Sophie B., Year 6 Boys 1st Ethan F., Year 6 Boys 2nd Braedon, Year 6 Girls 4th Maia B.
Team results: Year 5 Boys 1st place team, Year 5 Girls 3rd place team, Year 6 Boys 2nd place, Year 6 Girls 3rd place

Our students were among some of best behaved of those who attended and needed little if any reminders about behaviour on the day.
These results are some of the highest we have ever achieved at this event !
