Canterbury Cross Country

Well done to Leila and Chloe who placed 1st and 3rd respectively in the Canterbury Primary Schools cross country held at Halswell Quarry a few weeks back.  They then competed at the Canterbury Intermediate/Primary School cross country at Lake Roto Kohatu Reserve.  Leila placed 5th and Chloe placed 8th.  They have both qualified for the Canterbury team and will compete at regionals late in Term 3.  Ka mau te wehi kōrua (Awesome you two!)

FIFA U20 Football World Cup
Sam was a Mascot Mate at the FIFA U20 quarter final held in Christchurch.  He went around the field at half time with the mascot and high-fived all the kids in the crowd.  We hear you did a great job.  Well done Sam!

Commenting on blog posts

Hi there whanau and friends!

I have now updated the settings on the blog to make it easier to comment.  You no longer need a Gmail account to comment.

Here's how:
1. Click on the Comment section at the bottom of a post.
2. Click on the down arrow next to 'Comment as'.
3. Select Name/URL.

 4. Type in your name (use your first name and surname initial, but avoid full surnames).  Click Continue.

5. Type your message in the comment box.  Try to include specific 'done well' comments, and where appropriate, 'next steps'.  We are working on giving specific feedback rather than generic praise, such as, "Great job!"

Parents, we'd love to hear from you!

Production full dress rehearsal tomorrow!

Full dress rehearsal Monday.
