Swimming Sports 2020

Our annual swimming sports were held last Thursday at Wharenui Pool.  We were so impressed with the number of students competing, especially those who were pushing themselves out of their comfort zone to take part.  Congratulations to everyone who placed - official results will be announced in an upcoming assembly.  And congratulations to Rata house for winning the Year 7/8 relay!

Thank you to Mr Rodger for organising the event; to Kirsten for collating all the results and helping the house captains to choose their relay teams; to the parents and grandparents who helped time keep; the house captains for being poolside to support those who needed help; and to all the participants for supporting each other!  All the best for those who will represent Avonhead School at the NW Zones.

Top Team - Week 2 2020

During our Leadership Week, we had different speakers come in and talk to us about being a great leader and what leadership means to them.  We also had Top Team come in and run a series of challenges with us.  We tried to put into action things we'd learnt from all the speakers such as encouraging others, listening to other people's ideas, letting other people go first, suggesting ideas to complete each challenge etc.  It was a really hot day and we loved the water activities.  Here are some photos and videos of what we got up to...
