HOUSE NEWS 18.03.2023
Our school Houses have undergone many changes in recent years, the most significant of these was developing the House Mascots that are linked to each House.
Over the last few weeks, the mascots have been transformed again and we are excited and proud to present to you the all new House Heroes! Thanks to Ms. Lisa in our marketing department, along with the artistic talents and support of our very own Year 13 student; Coutrtney Tiggi Thornton, our mascots are now superheroes, revealed to you through this video!
Watch out for the all new House Heroes who will be popping up all over school and events in the coming weeks!

DOJO CHALLENGE
After a couple of weeks of setting different fun challenges across Primary, we got to celebrate all the entrants in our assembly this week! It has been great to see all the fact files about the amazing wildlife we encounter and I really enjoyed sharing in the students’ enjoyment with this challenge. I learned lots of great facts about many animals from around the world as I got to read fact files, watch videos and admire posters about the student’s favourite animals and endangered species. It was also great to see some of the wonderful experiments that our students carried out as part of our Arty Science challenge! Well done to everyone who took part in one or more of the recent challenges. Congratulations to our Sapi Sunbears for clinching the victory as Dojo Challenge Champions!
Now it’s time to find out what challenges you can involve yourself in this week.
