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.

Waipara Camp - Room 21, 22, 23
During Week 5, we had a superb time on camp at Waipara. There were lots of students who pushed themselves out of their comfort zone and showed a lot of 'bravery' during a number of activities.
We were extremely fortunate that we had an amazing bunch of parents who supported us. We are very grateful to Mr Hendo who stayed on for the entire week to support Mrs Gilmore and Miss Hurley.
Just like Room 18, 19, 20, we were fortunate to take part in a number of activities across the three days, starting with a long river walk and then some free time on the first day. We then had a Quiz and a Wearable Arts competition.
On Tuesday we had a full day of rotations which included Water Slide/Flying Fox, Giant Swing, Flying Kiwi, Raft Building, Kayaking, Confidence Course and Tree Climbing and then we did the Blind Trail at night.
On Wednesday, we continued with the rotations and ended with a yummy lunch. It was a fabulous time had by all.
Thanks to everyone who made it possible!
