National Young Leaders Day

National Young Leaders Day 2014
On the 26th of May, the Year 6 children and two Year 5 School Councillors attended the National Young Leaders Day at the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington.
All of the speakers were very inspiring and we all learnt a lot about what it takes to make a great leader.
Thank-you very much to the parents that helped with transport to and from the school and Petone train station.

Here are a few snaps that were taken during todays session.  You can see the variety of activities that the children participate in.

Hockey on Wheels

On Wednesday of Week 1, we were lucky enough to get an introduction to Hockey on Wheels.  Many of the children were interested in playing so I have put the flyer below.

Fitness

While our team for the Western Zone Cross-Country are out training, the rest of the seniors are doing fitness.  Today we played Queimada, which is Portuguese for 'Burn'.  Here are a few shots of the action.
