Senior Camp on Kawau Island!

 In Week 4 (Monday 24th of May - Friday 28th of May), the Y7&8 classes from GTS went to Kawau Island for our Senior School Camp. We absolutely loved it. For many of us, it was our first time away from home so it was frightening but the FUN times outweighed that.

We got to go kayaking, sailing, raft-building, orienteering, rock-climbing and abseiling. 

On Wednesday night, we had to do a Burma Trail through the bushes and on Thursday night, we had a FIAFIA night. Our students were organised into groups and each group performed a dance performance and came up with a chant!

There was a big group of us who went. 12 teachers/staff members and 63 students. 

Here are some photos of how camp went for us!!!

Classroom Paepae

 This Term, Room 11 has made a commitment to learn more Te Reo and about Te Ao Maori. Every morning we begin our day with our classroom paepae. We have someone to lead our Karakia Timatanga, then we have someone who acknowledges the karakia and continues to share the Kupu o Te Ra and Whakatauki for the week.

Here is a slide of what we go through!
