The year 8 youth group had a wonderful time playing Scattergories with the residents of Coldstream.

What a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day.

A big well done to all who presented in the Kea Team Speech Finals on Wednesday. It was great to see such confidence, use of gestures, great topics and overall well written and researched speeches.

Congratulations to all who received an award and to James who will represent our school at the Rotary Speech finals!

The buses for the skiers have just left the top car park.

Update for the skiers. Sadly the ski field is doing road maintenance and the bus will not be able to head down the mountain until 3.45 pm. We will notify you when they are on their way.

They will be at least 40 minutes later than anticipated because of this.

Non-uniform day is on Thursday to raise funds for Caritas. This is to help the poor and vulnerable in devastating times like these.

Please bring along a gold coin donation to place in our Caritas boxes throughout our school.

In the wake of flash floods on 26 August and despite damaged roads and infrastructure, Caritas has begun reaching families with food, shelter and emergency supplies.

The scale of the recovery is becoming clear. Schools, bridges and health facilities have been buried in mud and debris, while many families face a long struggle to rebuild their lives after losing loved ones, homes and livelihoods.

Your support can help provide:
🔸 Emergency food and shelter
🔸 Hygiene and household supplies
🔸 Support for children and families
🔸 Education and psychological assistance
🔸 Long-term recovery
