Talofa lava, afio mai, सुबह अच्छा,pai ata, Kuja hapa, greetings, สวัสดี, 欢迎 and malo e lelei,
What an exciting weekend for New Zealand. The All Blacks success was such an achievement. Along with them
the Silver ferns winning their game as well only hours before. An amazing achievement.
We had a great day on Friday with black out Friday.
Another school event to look forward to this week is Our Guy Fawkes Night. It’s a great night to come along
and bring a picnic dinner, to watch the fireworks from our field. There will be hot food and drinks available as
well.
Thank you,
Margaret Samson
