Great Illustrator

This week Year 5-8 students were fortunate to have a workshop with well known childrens illustrator, David Elliot.  Some excellent advice was given and now students are working on black and white illustrations for some recent great writing that they’ve done.

Term 2

Staff and students gathered on the first day of the new term to welcome members of Clifton Terrace Model School who have come to stay for a few weeks while  building work  is done at their school.  This is a repeat situation.  In 2000 CTMS also came to stay for a while during their admin upgrade project.  We [...]

Holy Week Remembrance

Financial Literacy

On a recent Friday, Years 2-6 took part  in some fun, but useful “financial literacy” classes facilitated by Jeffrey Crosby.  Students learned a bit about how to make your money work for you and the value of savings.  Perhaps a small increase in participation in our ASB School Banking is a sign of effectiveness.

Term 1 begins

All students have arrived back at school, well prepared and ready for the interesting and challenging range of learning experiences planned for the next eight weeks.  They include: Aquatics, attending International Festival of the Arts performances, some interesting visitors from the community and more. Watch this space for reports of some of the things we’ve done.

The  final assembly of the year acknowledged the [...]
