What are your Super Powers??

What are your Super Powers??

Hero Day

"I've got the POWER - powerful forces drive our world"

Moa 1 & 2 learners dressed up to find out what their Super Powers could be.

As part of our school-wide inquiry, our learners are understanding that they have 'powers' and we all have 'powers' that make us unique.

It all part of our new school values - Empowered, Connected and Innovative Learners, driving their passion for learning.

Did you notice that there is something missing?

During the Christmas holidays our old classrooms, caretaker/sport shed and resource room were removed.

We are now waiting on building consent from the Selwyn Council. 

Once that comes through, it will be all go!
