A huge ngā mihi to Animoso, the Bethlehem College Choir who came and shared 3 amazing songs with us. We especially loved having our ex Ridgies India and Martha performing!

Welcome to Wiki 5 :) Another fabulous sunny day of mahi in and around Selwyn Ridge today. Today we settled into a new week thinking about what 'responsibility' means - Mr Price narrated an Oscar worthy skit based on 'The boy who cried wolf' starring some outstanding performances.... luckily the moral of the story still came shining through! We all have the responsibility when we mess up, to fess up (own up), fix up and then move on. He taonga rongonui te aroha ki te tangata Goodwill towards others is a precious treasure. We also celebrated our Bookmark award winners for their efforts across the curriculum - ka rawe tō mahi! Marley & Mila represented our Travel Safe leaders today - recognising the awesome Rooms 10 and 18 who had 100% active travel for Wednesday Challenge, along with Rooms 11 and 12 close behind on 96% actively travelling to school. Lastly they shared tips for rail safety week - watch their video to keep safe around rail crossings. kia pai te wiki - have a great week whānau
