 Blog - Term 4 Week 2 <\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s been a fantastic start to Term 4, with everyone returning settled, focused, and ready for a great final term of the year. It\u2019s been wonderful to see the positive energy across the hub and students quickly getting back into routines.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Athletics training is well underway as we prepare for our upcoming sports events. Students have been practising a range of disciplines including high jump, sprints, relay, shot put, and discus. It\u2019s been great to see everyone giving things a go, encouraging one another, and showing great teamwork and determination.<\/span><\/p>

We are also delighted to have <\/span>Jemimah<\/span>, a second-year student teacher, joining <\/span>Chloe\u2019s homegroup<\/span> for the next five weeks. She has already made a fantastic start, getting to know students and supporting learning across the hub.<\/span><\/p>

We celebrated our <\/span>Speech Finals <\/span>this week, a huge congratulations to all who presented with confidence and passion. Well done to our <\/span>Year 8 and Year 7 winners<\/span> for their outstanding efforts and persuading speeches. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

Year 8: Winner - Annabelle Aitken, Runner up - Oscar Radford <\/span><\/p>

Year 7: Winner - Max Potter, Runner up - Minah Malak<\/span><\/p>

Students who took part in the <\/span>Kiwi Competitions<\/span> have now received their results. A special mention to <\/span>Tom Broadbank<\/span>, who received an <\/span>Excellence<\/span> in Maths, and <\/span>Ruvi Lawrance<\/span>, who received an <\/span>Excellence<\/span> in English. Seven students were also awarded <\/span>Merit<\/span> certificates, with some achieving across multiple subjects, an impressive effort by all!<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Our <\/span>Passions Programme<\/span> for Term 4 is off to an exciting start, with students taking part in a variety of engaging activities including <\/span>Cooking, Digital Technology, M\u0101ori Games,<\/span> and <\/span>Mural Painting.<\/span> It\u2019s wonderful to see students exploring their interests, developing new skills, and collaborating across groups each week.<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>

We\u2019ve also enjoyed some friendly competition with our <\/span>Staff vs Year 8 Basketball Game<\/span> last week. It was a high-energy match filled with great teamwork, impressive shots, and plenty of laughter. Despite some strong plays from the Year 8s, the staff managed to take out the win, though we\u2019re sure the students are already planning their comeback!<\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

We have also begun our <\/span>Navigating the Journey<\/span> health unit. Thank you to the wh\u0101nau who attended the information evening last week. Across the hub, students have approached these sessions with maturity, respect, and thoughtful discussion.<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s shaping up to be a busy and exciting term ahead! <\/span><\/p>
