Freshwater Frolicking at the Groynes

What a fantastic trip! The weather was perfect and our lesson was great. Thank you to the parents who helped with transport and supervision. The children have lots to share about water bugs and the importance of caring for rivers. There are more photos in the Media Gallery.

Financial literacy

Today Michelle from ASB came to teach us how to be wise with money. One lesson she taught us about using our money was "spend some on you, but save some too!"








Today we also shared some of our money by adding to the coin trail for the missions.

A Hive of Activity

We have had a busy afternoon trying to finish off our Inspirational Quotes for the gala. It was great to see teamwork in action!
