Swimming with Henk

 This week our students were very lucky to get swimming lessons with Henk. He has a really unique way of getting the kids engaged and having a bit of fun, and at the same time ensuring that are improving in their swimming skills.

 Kia ora, It's hard to believe that we are entering into Week three and the start of August. The daffodils have started to bloom, which means longer days and warmer weather to come.  Last Friday, the middle school students were part of the Novena to Our Lady Mary, in preparation for the Feast of the ‘Assumption of Mother Mary into heaven’ on 15th August.  The kids were amazing! they read and sang beautifully. The assembly we hosted afterwards went brilliantly! The students worked so hard and were very excited to perform The Rock Warriors for the school. Thank you to the parents and whānau who were able to come along and watch! If you missed it, check out the link below! NB: Only those with the link can view the video.
