Principals Word

As Term three comes to an end, I want to say a big thank you to all our community for adjusting and supporting the many changes and procedures we have been through over the past weeks as we have moved down alert levels. We have our fingers crossed for levels to continue to go down, so we can come together with our community in planned events such as Pasifika in the Bay which we are hosting early term 4.

A huge thank you to our dedicated staff who work tirelessly to support, teach and nurture our children.

We are all looking forward to term 4, which is always a fun term with graduations, fun days, Christmas assemblies, senior school camps and typically some good weather!

Have a happy holiday together and fingers crossed for sunshine.

Love Kimberley

Congratulations GVS Slam for winning the Tauranga City Basketball Yr 5/6 A grade final 46-40.

We cheered and supported these gorgeous kids from outside the stadium via livestream, thanks to level restrictions!

A huge thank you to Matua Jared coach, and Rachel for being Manager! A huge thank you to Anita Page who has been there along side the rest of our whanau supporting these kids throughout the season!

It's great to win, but even greater that our tamariki do it with encouragement for each other and great sportsmanship!
