There were so many events and learning opportunities that matched our vision it was brilliant. Swimming Carnival On Monday 9 March we had our swimming carnival at Waikanae Pool and the children loved this, especially the House participation. The children enjoyed a range of races, free time and house activities. William Pike Challenge On Wednesday 11 March we had the launch of the William Pike Challenge which all our year 7 and 8 children will be participating in. This challenge is a year long programme that encourages students to think about leadership and step out of their comfort zone to achieve new things. William Pike flew down from Auckland to speak to the community and students and his message was inspirational. It was great to have our mayor attend and speak to our children and support the programme as well. House Groups On Friday 13 March we had our House groups meet in the afternoon to play cooperative games and have a house chant competition. The idea of the House groups is to create better connections between students across the school.
