Westport Camp

A huge thanks to all the helpers who made camp so much fun. All the children had a great time.


  The children were really well behaved and enthusiastic in their adventures.  All the tour guides and staff at the Top 10 mentioned how well behaved and interested the children were.  Great job everyone!



We had lots of fun looking at natural wonders... 

... really HUGE trucks and diggers...

  ... and finding out about mining.

If you have pictures from camp, please send them in so we can add to our collection.

Sailing

We couldn't have asked for better weather!  What a great day to spend out on the water - just enough breeze to keep the sails full, not enough to lose control.  The students all did a great job learning to sail and enjoyed capsizing too!  Thanks to the parents who were able to drive us to the lake and Craig from Have a Go sailing and Rob from the Mahinapua aquatic club for running the day for us.  New sailors are welcome to stop by the club and join in on Sundays from 11am.  We'll add some more pictures soon.

Grandparents Day

What a fantastic day!  Thanks so much to all the grandparents and family friends who came from near and far to make our day so special .  The children really enjoyed sharing their school with you.  It was fantastic to hear so many special stories about the fantastic role grandparents play in our children's lives.  Thanks to Mrs. Jordan and the Hoiho Class students who planned the day.  Well done, I'm looking forward to the next one. :)
