Week 9 - Conservation week - how can you support conservation week?  Share your ideas with a comment on the blog.
Only 2 weeks left with lots to get done.

Jack Te Nahu Speech Finals

On Wednesday night, 25th August, 3 of our students attended the Jack Te Nahu Cup at Ngakuru.  They
were, Tegan, Michaela and Marguerite.  They did us proud and each one showed confidence and determination. 

I was so impressed with the attitude and their outlook towards the whole experience.  They were up against some stiff competition but came away positive and excited about the opportunity to have been a part of this learning experience.  Well done girls...

They demonstrated our key competency, Participating and Contributing as well as our value for this term, Confidence, I am proud of them and of all the students in our class. 

All the students have done themselves proud with how they put their speeches together and the enthusiasm and determination was outstanding, the growth from last year was highly evident.  I am really looking forward to seeing next year's speeches as I know the reflections the students had were deep and thoughtful.  

You ARE ALL winners in my book.

I am attempting to download videos of the girls so watch this space.
