Thank you to the parents who came along to our school cross country yesterday afternoon to support the students. We were very lucky with the weather and students competed very well in each age group. Well done to all students who took part. The top 10 place-getters are listed below. Thank you very much to Hamish & Justine Brown from the Allen Estate for enabling us to use the farm for the students to run through. Your assistance and time given each year is very much appreciated by our school.

Board of Trustees
We have received the confirmed Education Review Report which was released last week and is now available to the public on the ERO website www.ero.govt.nz. We are very pleased with the outcome, which reflects the hard work put in by the previous board and all the staff. It is very encouraging to have ERO recognise and support the huge amount of progress that has been made. Matthew Judge (Board of Trustees)
