Student Leaders 2020

Student Leaders Teams


In 2020, we have changed the structure of our student leadership team.  We have different groups of Years 5 and 6 students who will focus on different areas within the school.  A different staff member will work with each group and the initiatives they will run during 2020.
This slide shows who our student leaders are and the types of things they will be leading.

Dance.

          Dance performance  

On Tuesday this week, we had a dance performance at the Isaac theater it was huge! and I've also never been on a stage this was the first time I was nervous but my dance teacher Shawn helped me out.
There were more than 1,000 people there, we were second to go up on stage at that moment I felt proud of myself and happy but also very scared, as soon as we got up at the stage I was ok I remembered everything, at the end there where more dancers up even professional dancers!
Heres a video :)

Gumboot day

Gumboot day
What is gumboot day? 

Gumboot day  is a native celebration of Taihape, New Zealand . It occurs the Tuesday after Easter, and has been a regular event since 1985. It is a celebration of all things to do with gumboot, and includes the famous gumboot throwing contest.The aim of the festival is to break the world record for the longest gumboot throw. It is a family event, which includes a number of other competitions such as the best-dressed gumboot and ‘shoot the loop’ with gumboots. Gumboots can also be tossed skyward on any day of the year in the official Gumboot throwing lane located in the 'Outback', just behind Taihape's main shopping centre. 

Here is a photo of the poster we designed to advertised Gumboot Day.

I really enjoyed this day because
