Principal’s Panui – 21 October 2022

Kia ora te whanau o te kotuku Welcome back to school for the last term of the year. The Law of the Garbage Truck One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.

It is about treating triumph and failure just the same and understanding that both places are an opportunity…

If the keel of our waka (our well-being) is not in good shape our journey will be tougher than it needs to be. Let this be a focus for this term.
