After an incredible legacy of guiding and inspiring learners, and giving so much to our community, Anna Wright is beginning an exciting new chapter at Te Mātaitihi School.

We warmly invite our community to pop in this week to wish Anna well in her final days at our kura, or join us at her farewell assembly as we celebrate her remarkable contribution to our school.

Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori - Welcome to Māori Language Week!
This week, we have 13 amazing Reo Māori Kaitiaki (Ambassadors) from Years 4-8 who are running optional activities at lunchtimes.

Today we had Mindful Colouring. It was a lovely and relaxing way to spend lunchtime - my bucket was certainly filled with the collaboration and creativity.
Ka mau te wehi - how fantastic!

This afternoon the Christchurch South Primary Schools Literacy Quiz was held at Somerfield Te Kura Wairepo. The Literacy Quiz involves teams of six Year 3-6 ākonga participating in a quiz about six picture books and six chapter books. There were twelve rounds with ten questions per round. This year we entered two teams - The Rātā Rockstars and The Templeton Titans. We are so incredibly proud of our teams (including our three travelling reserves) for their efforts in preparing for this over the past two terms. They competed well today and should be super proud of their efforts! Ka rawe! Thank you also to all the parents and whānau who supported this year and who came along today.

Yesterday we had a Team Kiwi Commonwealth Games. Each class represented a country. There are six classes in Team Kiwi and six countries that have competed in every Commonwealth Games since they began in 1930. The weather played its part and there were smiles all round. We are proud of the podium RATA Value recipients. 🏅✨️

Today we wore yellow to celebrate Daffodil Day. We raised $400 with our gold coin donation for the Cancer Society. Thank you to a group of our wonderful Year 8 school leaders Chevelle, Riley, Alyssa and Sophia for their organisation of the day which included a daffodil drawing competition. What amazing artists we have across the whole school. Every single drawing showed so much creativity.
Thank you to all who donated to this fantastic organisation who is so supportive for those on a cancer journey and for those family members caring for them. 🌼

🏀 Year 5/6 Girls Canterbury Basketball 🏀

What an incredible opportunity for our Year 5/6 girls to represent our school at the Canterbury Basketball Competition last week!

A huge thank you to Mrs Latham, who was an absolute legend coaching this team! From the Zone Competition right through to the Canterburys, she gave her time, energy and encouragement to our girls and helped make this experience so special. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for the team. ❤️

A massive thank you also to our wonderful whānau who helped with transport and were such an awesome support crew on the day. Your encouragement from the sidelines made a huge difference. Thank you to Kahli for her team talks, they were outstanding! 👏

Most importantly, what a fantastic opportunity for our tamariki to challenge themselves, represent our school, work together as a team and experience basketball at this level. A huge experience, lots of learning and memories that will last a long time! 🌟

We are so proud of you girls!
