Lucas, Jackson and Fabian have had a stella season for their under 11 softball team. Not only did their team win the Under 11 Rookie tournament a few weeks ago, their team has taken out the Under 11 title for the whole Wellington Region. Well done!
Thanks to the amazing Sports Ambassadors who helped set up and pack up gear for the school picnic last week. Your enthusiasm, diligence and self-management were highly valued. As a result of your mahi others had a wonderful time at our annual summer picnic. Tu Meke tatou!
Additional thanks to all the families who made it along to the picnic; we hope you had an enjoyable time.
This term, our classes are diving into the important topic of Zero Waste with educator Chris Simons as part of our school-wide Sustainability Inquiry. Chris’ engaging sessions are sparking thoughtful discussions on how we can reuse and recycle unwanted items, which is essential learning for protecting our planet and ensuring a sustainable future. Thanks Chris for supporting PBS with this important mahi!
It’s always heartwarming to see the pride on a kid’s face when they are praised for their mahi. When that praise extends to a certificate that pride spreads even further and can act as a motivating factor for others. Just check out the smiles on the faces of these Ngaru Syndicate students! Congratulations to Arya, Samantha, Alf and Lucas who received awards recently for their hard work, attitudes and amazing efforts. Ka rawe!
At PBS, we’re incredibly grateful for the Pedal Ready Programme and our teachers’ commitment to keeping kids safe by signing up to it each year. It’s an amazing opportunity for our 9 and 10-year-olds to get active while learning essential cycling skills.
Through this programme, our students have learned about helmet fitting, bike safety checks, and key techniques like starting, stopping and steering. The smiles on their faces as they ride speak for themselves—learning in action and fun on two wheels!
Congratulations to Norah Edwards (Room 12) whose entry into the University of Canterbury’s Mokopuna Ora Writing Competition won a Merit Award for Excellence! Norah received a certificate and a $50 book voucher!
