Touch Rugby Training

Each Tuesday morning for the first four weeks of term the Garin students are coming to school to coach the Year 5/6 students in touch rugby skills. The Garin students earn credit for their PE classes.
It's great to see some ex St Paul's students in the coaching team and enjoying being back!

Operation Christmas Child

It's that time of year again!

This year Kereru students have chosen to collect gifts for a 5/6 year old girl.
Some ideas for gifts are;

Something to wear
Something to play with
Something for school
Something to love
Something special
Something for personal hygiene
Unfortunately we can't accept any pre-loved items.

A comprehensive list of suitable gift ideas can be found here;
