Year 8 News

It has been an awesome couple of weeks within our school! Year 8s have had their high school orientation day and represented us with pride at the Otago Athletics Championships. We have also had two wonderful weeks celebrating Mātauranga Māori week, culminating in our Ki O Rahi and Haka competitions.

Congratulations to Room 13 for taking out the 2024 Ki O Rahi competition. It was a hard-fought battle in the final against Room 12.

Huge congratulations also, to Room 11 for taking out the Haka competition. Matua Manuel has been super impressed with this year's performances.

Over the next few weeks, our Year 8s will be finalising their trading day stalls, which will be happening on Wednesday the 4th of December. I have been impressed already with the business ideas that our students have been developing.

Week 8 is also packed with activities! Year 8s will be heading to Moana pool and Bowl Line for their end-of-year outing.

Finally, we will have our last social of the year, the Year 8 Leavers' Social, on Thursday 12th of December from 7-9pm for our Year 8s as we farewell them.

Still lots to happen in the final weeks of term 4!
