Wow! What an magnificent week we had last week showcasing our talents in the school production. Dedication and determination resulted in magnificent performances in a magnificent show. We were all so proud.
Thank you so much to those parents who supported us so willingly - you also are magnificent! We really couldn't do it without you.

Tall Poppies Cross Country
This Thursday (8th June), all Tall Poppies will be competing in the cluster cross country event at Whakamarama School. (Postponement date is Friday 9th)
Remember to wear red Tauriko shirts and black shorts. The course is on a farm so suitable footwear must be worn. You are advised to bring warm clothes to get changed into after you have run as it can get extremely chilly ‘in the hills’ and a change of footwear is also recommended, as they may get wet feet when running. You will also need to take a substantial morning tea, lunch and a large cold drink. Refreshments can be purchased on the day: soup, drinks and some food will be available.
EPro8 Competition
Permission slips are due in now please. The competition takes place next week. Please see permission slips for details.
