Kia ora koutou and welcome to the fifth week of this term. Last week was huge, and as you all witnessed the school Spring Chicken production was a great success. Thank you to everyone for the effort you put into costumes and supporting your kids, and huge congratulations to all the students for a performance to be proud of.
