Happy 7th birthday Aamaiah 🎂 🥳 🎉
Seven years of laughter, adventure and so many special memories ❤️ 💖 Blessings happiness and love😍🥰

🏃‍♀️🏃We had a resounding success, blessed with beautiful sunny weather, a vibrant atmosphere at Mini Marathon today.

It was heartening to see our students participate with such enthusiasm and determination. The highlight of the day was seeing the pride on each student's face as they crossed the finishing line and were presented with their participation medals🏅 🏅🎖
A special note of thanks to our parent helpers for your ongoing support of our school sporting events. Your contribution ensures a safe and enjoyable day for everyone. 👏🫶🤝🙏

Nau mai, haere mai to our newest friends! A big welcome to Judah and Ermias, who officially started in the Junior Teina class today. We are so happy to have you both join our school whānau! 🌿

We also welcome Whaea Edith Smith, our student teacher from Te Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, who is bringing her sparkle to the Senior Tuakana class. ✨

We pray you feel right at home in our SDA school whānau as you discover the wonderful plans God has for you here! 🙏

✨ Congratulations to our Behaviour Reward students for Term 1, 2026! ✨
Yesterday we celebrated the top four students from each class who earned the highest number of Class Dojos for our School Values. 🙌

This one was extra special as they visited our school sheep, Max 🐑 — a beautiful reminder of Jesus, the Lamb of God.

Our memory verse this week reminds us of this powerful truth:
“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” — John 1:29

These students have shown daily commitment to living out our school values of GROWTH, Godliness, Rich Relationships, Wisdom in Decisions, Transformational Learning, and Harvest Focused.

We’re so proud of their leadership and example! 🌟

What a powerful and heart-filling Week of Prayer we’ve had! 🙏✨

We are so grateful to Pr. Sergio for leading us through this journey and helping us reflect on the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. He truly is the Lamb—God’s greatest gift to every one of us. 🕊️❤️

It was a busy and beautiful week of growing closer to Him:

🎨 Creativity: We finished painting our stunning new stained-glass window in the foyer.

🐑 Connection: We took a trip to visit Max Sherman, our former school lamb who is now a very fluffy sheep!

📖 Growth: We’ve been hiding God's Word in our hearts by learning our memory verse and coming together in prayer every single day.

We wrapped up the week with a special Communion service, taking time to remember His love and grace. 🍞🍷

Thank you to everyone who made this week so meaningful. We serve an amazing God!
