Cross Country<\/b><\/h2>
The heavens opens and poured down on us, just as we gathered for the start of the 2023 cross-country. With the decision made to go ahead, we were impressed with the grit and determination shown by the vast majority of the team. Everyone had different measures of success. We were so impressed by those who managed to run the full course without stopping and those who maintained a regular run - walk - run pace. A special congratulations to the top 3 finishers in each section:<\/p>
- Year 8 Girls: Ella C, Zoe (tied for first), Charlie<\/li>
- Year 8 Boys: Cahlen, Dan, James<\/li>
- Year 7 Girls: Harriet, Isabella and Bonnie<\/li>
- Year 7 Boys: Jack, Finn, Rowan<\/li><\/ul>
A huge thanks to parents who came along to help with the running of the event.<\/p>
LifeChanger<\/b><\/h2>
Starting in Week 2, we have been taking part in LifeChanger sessions with visiting facilitators from Auckland. LifeChanger empowers young people to live thriving, resilient lives by developing their social, emotional and resilience skills. The children have been engaging really well with the learning, and we have two more to wrap things up in Week 4.<\/p>

Cheese roll fundraiser, parent help needed.<\/b><\/h2>
With our ski trip coming up next term, we need to raise some funds. Over the past few years we have made and sold cheese rolls. The system works well (with the children as the main workforce) and we have made lots of money in the past. Wednesday, June 7th will be our production day. Please read this form to see if you can help and fill it out if you can contribute in some way. Thanks team - 'We get there together!' <\/p>
