🚶‍♀️🚴 Active August has begun! 🛴🏃
Tomorrow, children will receive their Active August challenge cards. Throughout August, we encourage everyone to get to school in an active way whenever possible - walk, bike, scooter, skate, or park and walk.
Every active trip counts. Let's make it a fun and active month! 🌟

On Friday, we wrapped up International Week with a fantastic Dress-Up Day!

It was wonderful to see so many students and staff celebrating the many cultures that make our school community so special. Thank you to our whānau for helping make the day such a success!

🌏 As part of our school's International Week, this Friday, 31 July, we'll be celebrating with a Dress Up Day! We can't wait to see everyone celebrating who they are and the wonderful diversity of our school community.

We're excited to be one of 20 Dunedin schools taking part in Active August!

Throughout August, we encourage all students to use active transport to get to and from school where possible. Walking, biking or scootering are great ways to start the day.

If you need to drive, consider parking a little further away and walking the last part of the journey together. Every step counts!

Wacky Hat Day will be on August 12th!

🎉 Huge congratulations to 9-year-old Ollie on becoming the Overall Under 11 National Champion at the New Zealand National Diving Championships!

St Clair School Newsletter - 28th July 2026 Champion of the Board

Thank you to everyone who joined us last term as we celebrated Te Tau Hou Māori and Matariki | Puaka.

It was wonderful to come together as a school community, share a delicious hāngī and other kai, and enjoy time with whānau and friends. Moments like these remind us of the importance of connection, belonging, and celebrating together.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated food, gave their time, and helped prepare and serve more than 200 hāngī meals. Your generosity made this special event possible.

We also celebrated the culmination of a term of weaving as our Tītike girls proudly wore their beautiful pōkinikini for the first time. Ngā mihi nui to everyone who helped create these treasured taoka.

What a special way to celebrate together. 💙
