Assembly Week 8 Term 2

What a great way to end the week!

We absolutely loved hearing about the Year 5&6 Camp at Totara Springs. Seeing photos of all the fun put smiles on our faces, and the younger students were asking “when is it my turn?”

Our student hosts today spoke beautifully, we are always so proud of their public speaking ability.

Congratulations to the award winners today.

Have a great weekend and c’mon Chiefs! 🏉
