It’s been a busy and exciting fortnight filled with rich learning experiences. We’ve explored the fascinating world of bees and now minibeasts, celebrated Catholic Schools’ Day, enjoyed sharing our learning during the Learning in Action morning, and most recently, embraced the vibrant celebration of Samoan Language Week.

This year’s theme, ‘Ia malu lou sā. Folau i lagimā – A well-grounded self is a successful self,’ has inspired a beautiful range of creative expression from our tamaiti. They have explored sensory (not sight) stations while exploring/ telling the story of Losi the Giant Fisherman and have created Siapo cloth inspired i'a | fish. 

Creative expression has also been continued through our tamaiti’s version of the Hongi – Breath of Life, and Picasso-inspired expressive faces. Overall, it is an impressive collection of art, so we warmly invite you to pop in and take a look—there’s something special for everyone to enjoy.

Congratulations to Charlie Smith and Sakora Walker who have qualified for the Cross Country Interzones.
