Artistic Endeavours Rewarded

We had a very special presentation in this week's assembly, as Janice from the Lions Club awarded Samuel K 1st place in the Lions Peace Poster Contest for our district. Janice remarked on the very high standard of the 28 entries from West Melton School. Well done to our budding artists and their mentor Mrs Busch.
Samuel's artwork now heads to Wellington, and then hopefully to America to be judged in the international competition.

Assembly Highlights Term 4 Week 6

We were treated to a very entertaining assembly, run by the Kiwi team of Year One and Two students. The children were great announcers and scared our socks off with their roaring in The Dinosaur Stomp!

Emily S and Jack P received Gold Mathletics certificates, while Kohbyn R is the Mathlete of the Week!

After a huge amount of work and homework challenge studies involving mouldy cheese, water and Lego, Josh D, Angus H and Katherine H received their Science Certificates, while Charlotte D received her Maths Badge. Josh, Angus, Katherine and Charlotte, you are great thinkers and self-believers!
