🥉Third in our section for our waiata tira
🥉Third in our section for our waiata ā-ringa
🥉Third overall in our section
Villa has only been in the competitive section for three years so this is an outstanding result - well done!

This term, each Ako will be creating a Manaaki Pack to help Christchurch Resettlement Services care for their clients and their families. This is a great opportunity to put our Mercy Charism into action while helping individuals and families feel welcomed as they begin a new chapter. We encourage each student to contribute an item to their Ako themed pack. Every donation, will help make a meaningful difference!
