Another awesome week of fun and learning at MSS. Room 7 shared some fabulous messages of kaitiakitanga through the story of The Lorax. We loved your dioramas and singing too. Well done to all of you and well done to all of this week’s award recipients.

Kia ora whānau
A safety concern has been raised about students crossing through the orchard block at the end of Courtney St, to access Hau Rd. If your children use this route, please talk to them about using an alternative way to and from school.

This year we have an awesome number of year 7/8 players who have trained to be an umpire at netball. They are all doing so well. Being an umpire is an important role and it helps them learn the game from a different perspective which also improves their own play! Congratulations. Zara. Keep shining!

Celebrating Growth!

Zara is always smiling, and growing as an umpire!
Awesome work Zara!
