Week 9

It is the final week of term 1! What a fantastic start to the year. We can't believe how quickly it's gone. We have had an incredibly busy, productive and rewarding term. Clubs are in full swing, with many students from Te Ako Kahikatea already working hard towards their leadership badges. Our Junkfood concept has opened so many doors for in depth conversations about the realities of what it does to our bodies and how important it is to take care of ourselves.

We have completed our swimming lessons for the year, and even had a group of students head to the Remuera Zone Swimming Sports at St Kentigern School on the 24th March. Check out some photos from the event:

We had a great day, and are so proud of all the students that participated.

As we approach our camp, we have been looking at Rangitoto Island and doing several activities in preparation of our walk. Check out these awesome slideshows!
