Term 4, Week 1: Athletics
The annual school athletics day took place a little earlier this year. With work being done to Waitakere Stadium, the venue was switched to Mount Smart Stadium. The school was very fortunate: the one day this week to have warm, sunny weather turned out to be athletics day!
Here are some photos of students in action:

Term 3 Week 7: New Windsor's Got Talent!
Yet another extremely busy week passes by in a flash.
On Thursday evening, the 'New Windsor's got talent,' or alternatively, the better grammatically sounding 'New Windsor has talent' was staged in the auditorium. A good turnout from families in the community saw students display their talent under four categories: vocal, dance, instrumental and 'other'.
From Room 15, Rohit played the violin and recieved three rounds of applause. In the vocals section, Caden, Kaleb , Lee and Thomas performed a beat box routine. While the judges were making their decisions, Caden took to the stage again as part of Mr Birmingham's skiffle group.
It was great to see students from Room 15 sharing their talents. See Photos below.
Earlier on Thursday, Room 15 had their final gymnastics session with Ben and Carolina from Sport Waitakere.
On Friday, our year six students who intend to go to Blockhose Bay Intermediate, sat some reading and maths tests. Class teachers had discussions with the deputy principals from BBI to help provide them with a fuller picture of each student's strengths and needs.
