Kia ora koutou, This morning at our Monday Morning message hui we launched into Week 7 with some awesome performances and recognised some top level achievements. First up our junior kapa haka performed a waiata and a haka for us, ka rawe tō mahi! We recognised our Year 5 and 6 south cluster Athletics place getters - congratulations and good luck to those competing at the Western Bay athletics next week. Next up we celebrated all our Bookmark Award winners soaring high across their manawa, kete and whakaaro - keep up the awesome mahi. Lola and Willow from our Travel Safe team presented our top 4 Wednesday Challenge classes who all achieved 100% active travel - fantastic team effort rooms 1, 3, 5 & 12. And to top off our hui we were super lucky to be entertained by our very own rock band - 'Black Hat'. What a great start to the week. Kia pai tō wiki - have a good week whānau :) He oranga ngākau, he hikinga wairua When it touches your heart, it lifts your spirit

Mōrena whānau, Welcome to Wiki 7. Did you know there are only 2 more weeks left in our 2025 Wednesday ChallengeChallenge schools competition? Selwyn Ridge needs you to help us out ... we are currently in the top 3 schools for the Tauranga region but we reckon we can get to first place with your help! For the next 2 weeks every Wednesday we need as many tamariki as possible to actively travel to school. There are lots of ways you can travel actively to school - walk, bike, scooter, skate or maybe share with another whānau to car pool and also you can park ‘n’ stride or glide by getting dropped off at the tennis courts or further away from the school gates. Let's go Selwyn Ridge :)

Mōrena, It's the last day for the book fair today. It will be packed up and sent to the next school this afternoon. Thanks to everyone who has supported it. The book fair raffle is still for sale for the next week in the library. Thanks for your support!

Kia Kia ora koutou whānau, Tukua kia tū takitahi ngā whetū o te rangi Let each star in the sky shine it's own light When costumes and characters magically appear. From wizards to warriors, detectives and queens, Our tamariki shine bright in their colourful scenes. The teachers join in, acting out stories with flair, Bringing books to life with laughter everywhere. With tales to inspire us and new worlds to explore, We dress up, imagine… then dream even more. At Selwyn Ridge it’s Book Week — the best time of year! Come on in and check out the amazing Book Fair in the Manawa space. Ngā mihi nui for all your support, creation and imagination supporting our annual "Book Week'. We enjoyed seeing all the kaiāko bringing stories to life on stage in our Soaring High hui today. Kia pai te mutunga wiki - have a great weekend whānau

The Book Fair is Here! As part of Book Week, Mrs Tomich has been busy setting up the Book Fair in our Manawa space — and it looks fantastic! The fair is open from 8:00am to 3:00pm each day until Monday. Come along, take a look, and maybe pick up a few early Christmas treats. We receive a percentage of all sales, which goes towards purchasing more books for our library. Don’t forget to enter the great raffle while you’re there!

It's book week... and here's a raffle with some great book week prizes!

Wow! What a wonderful two days we had with our healthy active learning celebration field days. The weather turned it on and it was great to see the joy of the tamariki as they all took part in the wide range of physical education and movement activities. Special thanks to our friends from Sport Bay of Plenty who came and helped today. Thanks also to Mrs Crompton and Mrs Taylor for the organising! Mauri tū, mauri ora - an active spirit is a living spirit
