It's a beautiful day for the Cross Country! Events start at 11.10am. The spirit we carry with us today is one of fun, will and participation. We look forward to sharing the day with you.

Do you have family or friends who are interested in learning more about our school and Steiner education? Next week we will hold an Enrolment Information Evening. All welcome.

I have had the great privilege of spending time in our High School Main Lessons over the last two weeks. The topics and lessons demand analysis, perspective and deep thinking from our older ākonga. As the year rolls out, their Main Lesson books become both a record of their learning and a beautiful text book for them to refer back to. Below are some examples of what you might see in our High Schoolers' Main Lesson books.

Class 6 have been practing their sketching... aren't these striking?
To sketch something accurately—whether it's a rock, a shadow, or a bone structure—a student has to stop, slow down, and really look at it. Sketching trains students to notice subtle details, light, and proportions, turning them into keen scientific observers.

Here is the Friday Flier🤩🔆 What a busy couple of weeks it has been...Class 9 Shakespeare, a trip to the marae and staffing updates to be shared. Enjoy!

A magic full-moon night for Class 4's Noho Marae. Thank you to the beautiful people of Hukanui Marae for their manaakitanga and to the C4 parents for giving so generously of their time, organisation, baking and support.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made Principal Appreciation Day so special for me today. I love this school and community and have definitely landed in the perfect spot for me. I have said it many times... I am truly blessed.

It's our pleasure to share our beautifully refreshed school logo! Thanks to Emily Brunskill for her hard work on this (check out Emily's page on LinkedIn). Our logo has a very moving and interesting meaning behind it, read all about it in this week's Friday Flier.
