Happy Tongan Language Week!

Mālō e lelei! Last week was Tongan Language Week - a great time to celebrate and learn about the awesome Tongan culture.

On Friday students were encouraged to dress up in Tongan dress or colourful clothes. 

We had a visit from Phoenix, Ariana and Litianne who showed us some traditional Tongan clothing with some students even getting the chance to try some on.

Wooden Games with Buddy Class


A wonderful parent won our school a day with these awesome wooden games from Woodbotherer Games. Room 6 had a session with Room 19, our buddy class. It was such fun using strategy, wits and cooperation to play these old skool games.

Road Safety Week

 This week is Road Safety Week!  Here are some ways we can be road safety superheroes:

  • always use the school crossing

  • walk, bike or scooter to and from school 

  • scooter at a safe speed and keep a look out for cars going in and out of driveways

  • wear a helmet when you are on your bike or scooter

  • be SAFE in cars - Seatbelts Are For Everyone!


Small things make a big difference - stay safe Owairaka!
