2011 has welcomed moisture laden gales, painters and new teacher Keighley Donaldson.
Escaped calendula, ripening produce, newly erected sign and a bark chipped pirate ship - school transformation has begun.
Playground redevelopment is a priority for the Board and the school goal has been set to improve the exposure to Health and Physical Education activities by pupils. The teachers aim to start the year by sharing new games and encouraging more action throughout the day.
The school target focuses on improving student's writing abilities and better analysing the school assessment data.
ERO suggested last year we share the school's philosophy with our community and we intend to do so at an Open night later this term. 

Te one - the beach; is our term's theme, the Wawa triathlon shield to be defended and the Year 7/8s are Sutton bound for their bi-annual art and poetry, bike camp.
 
The Blueskin Bay book car begins its fortnightly visits next Wednesday with fresh supplies of readable goodness that assist our pupils in being top class readers.
