Today we congratulated Rebecca Henderson, who was selected as the West Melton Tertiary Scholar for 2016 West Melton Scholarship Award.  Rebecca is in her last year of her physical education degree at Otago University. 

Rebecca, an ex-student of West Melton School and once receiving the award she talked to our students about her time at WMS.  Especially how much the school has grown and the change in buildings.

Congratulations Rebecca!

Lincoln Zone Football & Hockey Tournament photos

Thursday 30th June 2016

A very cold and murky day, rain briefly making an appearance in the morning.

This year we sent 5 teams to the tournament; 2 x Y5/6 A & B Hockey, 2 x Y5/6 A & B Football and a Y7/8 B Football team.

It was wonderful to see many students giving a go, many who have never played hockey or football before. It was especially heartening to see our students showing great examples of KC Kids values: self-manager, team player, self-belief and above all - resilience.

Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers who came on the day to help supervise/manage the students. Thank you also to Darren Meyers and Adam Mabey who coached the students during lunchtime at school prior to the tournament. Without all your help, we would not be able to enter these tournaments.

These photos are Junior Hockey A & B teams.
