End of year Junior PICNIC (with a bit of healthy inter-house competition thrown in) Day
We couldn’t possibly end THIS year off with the juniors without a small celebration. Normally it’d be our Beach Day at Long Bay but this year, like most events, we’ve had to change to adhere to COVID protocols. At noon, students competed in various competitions run by departments – Chess, Quiz, Movement games, Rubik’s cube, EPro8 challenge, Netball, Touch, Board games etc. There were also non-competitive options like Christmas bag making, recyclable container-making, Yoga on offer. With carols booking over the speaker, students enjoyed sausage sizzle and a relaxed atmosphere on our Great Lawn. The winning house – thus the first claim to Ice blocks was: . Here’s wishing all our students and whanau a very Merry Christmas and a safe and fun-filled Summer break.
