Welcome to Selwyn Ridge School

A huge congratulations to our lucky winners of the STAR Group Easter Raffle, drawn live at our end of term assembly. Thank you to everyone who supported this fundraiser, your generosity helped the STAR group raise $826. We loved the excitement of the live draw and seeing the smiles on our winners’ faces! Thank you to our STAR group for all your mahi in organising this fun raffle.

On the last day of Term 1, we celebrated a truly special teacher, Scott Feisst, who has been a much loved part of the SRP whānau for 16 years 💙 Throughout his time at kura, Mr Feisst has made a lasting impact on so many of our tamariki. From leading our school to Top Schools success year after year, to his caring, thoughtful approach in the classroom, he has always put children at the heart of everything he does. He’s always been a strong advocate for nurturing the wellbeing of our learners. In true SRP style, we farewelled him with a special assembly. To honour Mr Feisst, we all kicked off our shoes (just the way he likes it!) and shared a memorable moment together. Our kapa haka, led beautifully by Tate, was especially moving and a highlight of the celebration. Scott, thank you for everything you have given to our school and community. You will be hugely missed, but we are so excited for you as you head into your next adventure. Ngā mihi nui and all the very best from us all.

We had an awesome Week 8 assembly, despite the weather today! We celebrated a super week of learning across the school, there was a theme of demonstrating kindness. It was nice to see so many of our learners recognised for their big hearts and the way they support one another. The spotlight was on Room 16 this week, who did an amazing job sharing their creative writing and vibrant artwork with us all. We also enjoyed a catchy song that Mr. Price taught us, he had the whole hall buzzing. Our EPro8 teams were celebrated with the winning team heading off to Ōtūmoetai Intermediate to represent our school. And we sure do have some incredible swimming talent from SRP, our team took home many top placings at the recent Cluster competition. To top it all off, we enjoyed a fabulous video put together by Miss Stevens capturing the highlights of our recent duathlon. You will be able to view the video yourselves in our newsletter, due out next week. Listen out for the lyrics of the personalised song that accompanies it!

Wow!! What an awesome duathlon event today at Waipuna Park. Thank you to our amazing SRP Events Team, teachers and the year 6 dynamo leaders for ensuring the day was fun and ran smoothly for everyone. A huge thank you to our duathlon sponsors, Ramlose family, Leighton Builders, Specialised Constructive Solutions, Cohesive Interiors, Vercoe family, Pippy’s Pantry & Hell Pizza for sponsoring our event this year.
