PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora parents and caregivers
Our Year 6 students were on camp this week at the Guthrie Smith Centre in Tutira and had a wonderful experience.
Thanks to our parents who took time off this week to support our children on camp. A massive thanks to our teachers (Dianne, Brendon, Maree and Mariea) who spent many hours preparing and running the camp. I really appreciate your efforts!
Below are just some of the action photos of the week. More will be posted on Seesaw next week.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Nga mihi,

Onekawa School in 1960!
One of our parents sent a link to a video that features a few seconds of Onekawa School in 1960!
In the short clip, you can see Rooms 1-4 (Huataki and Hiwa). A few seconds in, the clip pans to Rooms 5-8.
For those who want to watch the entire YouTube video of 'Primary Schools at work 1960' (featuring Hawkes Bay Schools) use the link below:

Our Year 5 Children visited the aquarium this week!
Check out Whetu Iti's beautiful Daffodil wall that is displayed in the office. We have donated $200 to the Cancer society in support of daffodil day
