I am proud of the way classes have focused on ANZAC day and the significant recognition we have dedicated to the recognition of our returned service men.  In our foyer you will see a wall of remembrance where children  have had the opportunity to either remember relatives or simply pay respect to those fallen soldiers to whom we owe so much.

 

A little bit of rain did not dampen our evening, with 4007 people from all over the Bay of Plenty & beyond, turning out to enjoy our 2017 Fireworks Gala. We have had so many reports of families having a great night out, and our children experiencing a world class fireworks display in their own school grounds! Thank you to our wonderful sponsors Taylor Bros Transport, Vegepod, Willis Towers Watson & Zariba Properties – Terrace Views, without your support this event would not have been possible.  Thank you to all our amazing parents, staff and families, who gave up their time to help set up and clean up, volunteered to manage and assist on stalls on the night, and donate fabulous prizes, our event was a huge success because of you all! We were thoroughly entertained by our talented performers & broke records with the huge number of Jar-a-ramas, and had a massively successful ‘Winning Wheel’.  Another highlight was the ‘Wheelbarrow Race’, congratulations to ‘Accident & Healthcare’ our 2017 Champions.  Together we raised almost $25,000, part of this will be spent on exciting outdoor play equipment and playground upgrades for all our children.  What a great evening to showcase our beautiful school, its people and its sense of community.  We are looking forward to 2018!
