School closed for Matariki Friday 28 June

School will be closed to celebrate Matariki on Friday 28 June. 

Matariki is a special occasion in the New Zealand calendar which marks the start of the Māori New Year. Signified by the Matariki cluster of stars reappearing in our night sky, this is a time to reflect on the past year, celebrate the present, and plan for the year ahead.

Sit Less, Move More, Sleep Well Physical Activity Guidelines for Children and Young People

For school-aged children and young people (aged 5 to 17 years) high levels of physical activity, low levels of sedentary behaviour and sufficient sleep each day achieves greater health benefits.

A healthy 24 hours includes:

• quality uninterrupted sleep of 9 to 11 hours per night for those aged 5 to 13 years and 8 to 10 hours per night for those aged 14 to 17 years, with consistent bed and wake-up times.
• an accumulation of at least one hour a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity (incorporate vigorous physical activities and activities that strengthen muscles and bones, at least three days a week).
• no more than two hours per day of recreational screen time.
• for the remainder of the day:

• sitting less, moving more – break up sitting time.
• participating in structured and unstructured light physical activities.

Preserving sleep, trading indoor time for outdoor time, and replacing sedentary behaviours and light physical activity with additional moderate to vigorous physical activity can provide greater health benefits.

Travelwise Tuesdays!

Travelwise Tuesdays is a schoolwide competition to encourage students to come to school using active modes of transport.  For example, students can scoot, walk, bike, or skate to school.  

Travelwise Leaders will collect the data from each class on Wednesdays. The winning class each term will receive a milo morning to congratulate them for their efforts.

Our goal is to promote fitness and fun when travelling to school as well as caring about the environment.
