Our Share & Celebrate events are a time to acknowledge and celebrate ākonga (students) who have been noticed doing something great. This can be for anything from an act of kindness, to great efforts in learning or taking care of the environment. If you have fabulous things your have been doing outside of school that you would like to share and celebrate, please email the details to your child's whānau teacher.
We would also like to congratulate our amazing student leaders who planned and led the celebration - Binuk, Fabeeha and Angela Yang. You were fabulous leaders and fantastically organised. Well done.
Here are the fabulous people who were celebrated this week:
Zara S: For your contribution and connectedness during Digital Skills. You were able to quickly navigate how to bookmark tabs on your Chromebook and then you turned to the student who was quietly sitting next to you and checked in with how they were progressing. Thank you for sharing your skills and supporting those around you Zara. Tino pai!
Lydia, Melody and Talia: For being incredible role models in Literacy. They are consistently on task, and always trying their best. I am also impressed with how they are taking leadership roles in workshops and supporting younger tamariki. Ka rawe!
