Focus: Apply effort

How:
Having a go at every opportunity.
Showing a growth mindset

The mighty Tōtara tree stands tall and proud. It protects those smaller than itself. In ancient times it was used to build waka that carried hundreds of warriors and build whare to protect people from the earths elements. As the team gifted with the name tōtara, we take on much of it’s meaning. We protect those who are younger than us and we support others by encouraging them, and being active role models in our kura. We are the leaders of KNS.

Syndicate Assembly
Every odd week, our leaders organise a Tōtara syndicate assembly.
This week, we were able to appreciate Zeke, Abbi and Georgia's work that they shared with us, celebrate our young leaders who attended a conference earlier in the week and applaud Liam, Samantha, Olivia, Sophia, Dylan, Lois, Tessa and Fletcher for their effort and achievements in their classes. What a neat bunch of students we have at our school!
