Kiwisports – Football

This term, our class had soccer with Coach Tre. He taught us the skills to play the game and be successful. We have students in our class who are big fans of Messi and Ronaldo.

Coach Tre used different games to teach us dribbling, turning, and shooting. We got better each week and were excited to have soccer. I wonder what skills our students need to develop more?

2023 Rm 9 Class Photos

How do we take such great class photos?

We line up from tallest to shortest. We’re each given a piece of paper with our name and a QR code on it. Then, we head towards the photographer, who decides where we sit. He checks that we’re all in the right position and looking our best, because these photos will be with us for the rest of our lives!

Behind the scenes:

Check out the behind-the-scenes photo footage to see how we do it.  We had 3 students absent: Sione, Utukura & Hisham.

How do you feel when taking photos?

Have you ever blinked in a photo?  Our secret: Keep smiling!

 

Farewell Mrs Sorenson

“Aue he tangata, he tangata, he tangata.”
Translation: A person, a person, a person.

Meaning: Every person is a treasure.

Mrs. Sorenson was more than an administrator who dealt with payroll. She worked closely with families who were eligible for the Variety Charity to ensure that their children received the assistance they needed to stay healthy, go to school, and participate in their community.

She was family to us. She knew all the students in our school and would check in with staff, often sharing fond anecdotes about her grandchildren. We will miss her dearly. She has been part of the original Pt England staff and has seen many changes in our school landscape.

We wish her all the best in her next chapter!

Aroha mai, aroha atu (love towards us, love going out of us).
