Swimming Sports

On the 16th April we held the Senior Swimming Sports at the Onekawa Pools.  It was fantastic to see everyone have such a positive attitude towards their swimming.  Many children competed in races they had never done before.  There was some amazing support and some competitive races!  Well done to all the swimmers!

HOPE

We had a mufti day to raise money for Caritas.  The money we raised will go to helping people in the Soloman Islands.  

Jesus Meal

At the end of the term, to conclude our learning in the Jesus unit, the whole school gathered together to have a Jesus Meal.  We ate wraps with meat and salad, fruit, and dried fruit.  Some of the Year 8 children and teachers served us.  It was a great way to finish our unit!
