Constable Ken has spent the morning speaking to our Year 7 and 8 students about cyber safety. Did you know that the legal age to own a Youtube, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook account is 13 years old? Our students felt really informed as they found out some laws and rules they didn't know about. The main thing is to think about what we are posting online because it never goes away!
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.

Fletch and Jayden's Fundraiser Run
Fletcher and Jayden created a relay run to fundraise money for outdoor furniture for the new tōtara buildings. They gathered a strong team of year 7/8 students from each house to run a relay for 6 hours around our school reserve. We were so proud of the student efforts!
