This week we had our annual prizegivings for the whole of @PuhinuiS

We shared certificates, prizes, and performances to celebrate the hard mahi that we have all been doing in our classes all year

What a way to finish off the year!

Wishing everyone a Meri Kirihimete 🎄🎄🎄

We had a FUNTASTIC disco this week for the junior and middle schools to help raise funds for the year 6 leaver's t-shirts - and how wonderful it was!

The tamariki had so much fun putting on their dancing shoes and having a good time with their friends

Even though the rain came, we still managed to have our awesome annual Athletics day last week!

It was a brilliant day where we got to show off our jumping, leaping, throwing, running, and sprinting skills

Who knows, some of us might be off to the Olympics one day!! 🤔

How lucky are we here at @PuhinuiS to have such talented kaiako!

Earlier this week, Miss Robinson took staff for two special PD sessions on how to teach swimming to our tamariki

It was super useful to learn how best to boost student confidence in the water!!

Bunnings very kindly donated some trees to Puhinui School to give back to the community.

Earlier this week, Mrs. Wright took some students to plant them around the school.

We are looking fresh and green for the final term of the year! 🌺🌺
