Mrs Delaine Hall, Returning Officer

On 10 September, I proudly represented our school at the Regional Spelling Bee in Kilbirnie alongside Joy Waqanisau (AU9KF) and Sofia Gail Abulencia (AV10VS). Leading up to the event, we spent our lunchtimes testing each other on difficult words. The host said our competition was massive, featuring 47 students from across the Wellington region. We are extremely grateful to Mrs Davies and Mrs Conradie for their amazing support with practice and transport. Joy, Sofia, and I are proud of our efforts and thankful for this awesome opportunity. We hope to compete again next year.  Paris Yiannoutsos (AU9IF)

Our senior ESOL class have been learning about things that are unique to New Zealand. So of course, we had to take a trip to Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne Wildlife Sanctuary in Karori. We loved seeing many native birds and exploring the bush and waterways of Zealandia. Karin Kimura's reflection on the trip is added below:

"My ESL class from Sacred Heart College went to Zealandia to see the birds. We went to Zealandia in the school van. It took about 20 minutes. We walked around Zealandia and felt the power of nature. I saw three types of birds.  First, I saw a TAKAHE. It was so beautiful. Second, I saw a KAKA. It was so quick. Third, I saw a PATEKE. It was like a duck. I didn't see any TUATARA. I wanted to see one, so it was a shame. A highlight for me was eating lunch with my friends. 

My classmate Hana said, "It was beautiful because the air was so clean."

Sakura said, "I discovered that a cat can jump one metre".

Mariko said, "I felt relaxed because I was able to see a beautiful river". 

Ikoi said, "I was so glad because I could see so many native NZ birds".

Chii said, "How beautiful!". 

Maata said, "The view was so beautiful". 

If you go to Zealandia, you should eat lunch on the grass. Zealandia was smaller than I thought it would be and it was easier to walk around. I think Zealandia is the best place to take a walk and relax."

Japan Trip

Nine Year 10 students taking Japanese and Mrs. Knowles are looking forward to their Japan trip this week. They will be visiting Tokyo and Osaka, staying with host families in Sakai (Wellington's sister city) and spending time in school in Japan. We wish them safe travels and look forward to following their journey and hearing about their experiences upon their return. 行ってらっしゃい
