Marae trip

On Wednesday the 28th of August the whole school went to a Marae. We were welcomed into the Marae and then we all sat down. The school council did the hongi with some of the members at the Marae. We all heard a story about a Maori man that used a stingray to get to New Zealand. Then we all had morning tea. After that, we learned a dance. Then we went outside and the year 5 and 6 boys did a haka. After that we headed back to school.

Swimming sports

Swimming sports


Room 6 had a wonderful day at swimming sports. When we all went to the turf we split up into our houses. Thank you Sharyn and parents for helping us with the non competitive swimming and competitive. Also thank you parents for coming along and supporting your children. Good shepherd students thank the teachers very warmly, as every year as they set up and prepare this event for us. I’m sure that every student enjoyed the event. I saw everyone compete with my own eyes and they all did well. The people who lost don’t have to be sad because they should be grateful they got a swim in the warm weather also because there’s always time and effort to improve.
