Lets Go Focus Week- Unicycling

For the past year, our school has been involved in the Let's Go program run by the District Council. Last Thursday years 7 and 8 were extremely lucky to participate in a unicycle workshop run by a New Zealand representative Rowan. We focused on using our balance and were taught the begining riding tecniques of a unicycle. The day was an incredible experience and has certainly inspired the Media Team to try again sometime!




See you next time...

Lead 2012

LEAD 2012


Many students at our school have the potential to be great leaders. 21 lucky year 7 and 8 students had the opportunity to learn from other's successes at the New Plymouth LEAD 2012. The conference featured many inspiring speakers such as Honourable Heika Parata (Minister of Education and Minister of Pacific Island Affairs), Jaimie Fenton (Young New Zealander 2011) Glenn Anderson (Surf Lifesaving), Beauden Barrett (All Black), CEO Panel, Sarah Ulmer (Olympic Gold Medalist 2004) Aimee Watkins (Captain of the New Zealand White Ferns 2009-2011), Lisa Tamati (Ultra Marathon Runner) and Jenny Ellis, the principal of NPGHS. It was a amazing chance for all of us young students to get a taste of leadership and enhance our leadership knowledge.
