While the Years Seven and Eight students are at technicraft, the Years Five and Six students in Room Three work on the gardens with Mr Rea. Thanks to Compass Health's sponsorship, we have been able to add an extra garden and make some covers to keep out the pukekos and other pests. In term four, students will be harvesting veggies from the garden and using them to cook tasty and nutritious meals. 

Years seven and eight students enjoyed a trip to the snow with Mr Rea and Mrs Mitchell in August. On Monday morning, we left school early and headed to Ohakune for lunch before heading up to Turoa to do some sledding and to play in the snow. Awesome fun!
After that, we went to MiCamp at Turangi to set up our rooms. Then we drove to Taupo for dinner at Burger Fuel (yummo) and hot pools at De Bretts. 
The next day we headed up past the Chateau on the Whakapapa side for some sledding in Happy Valley. It was so warm and sunny the kids were stripping off their gloves, hats, and jackets.
Thank you, Lord, for safe travels and fabulous weather.
