Matariki begins this week - students not in Kapa Haka have been learning about this special time of the year.
A huge congratulations to Rahil who won the Rotary Speech competition on Thursday night with his speech on "Grown Ups are a Weird Species". Abigail also represented Avonhead in the Year 7 section with her speech on "Why Books are better than Movies."
Van, Thomas B. and Matthew A. enjoyed an afternoon of science at the University of Canterbury on Wednesday afternoon. They did all sorts of chemical experiments based around colour.
Congratulations to our cross country runners who competed at the Centrals on Wednesday. Mrs Moore was really impressed with the huge effort put in by all the runners along with the amazing sportsmanship shown in the cold conditions. Important to mention was Charlotte P's placing of 18th out of 188 Year 7 girls in her race!
Thank you to Mrs G and the Student Council for the disco on Friday night!
