Dear
Parents / Caregivers
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou
I
hope the holidays went well for you all. Term three started
off here at school with a hiss and a roar. Today the children
all enjoyed a ‘second’ breakfast as their
'hook in' for our inquiry unit on food this term. See
the photos below.
We welcome new students Ella Ball and Jessie Jukes to
our school community as well as Ayesha Hehir, a College
of Education student who will be in Voyagers for the next
three weeks..
Enjoy
your week, Jacinta Cousins

"
Excellence "
Excellence
is doing your best.
It is giving your very best to any task you
do or any relationship you have. Excellence
is the desire for perfection.
The perfection of a seed comes in the fruit.
When you practice excellence,
you bring your fruits to fruition.
We
practise Excellence

our best to whatever we do set
noble and realistic goals remember
to plan and practice don’t
