Tawhai School

Tawhai School came together on Friday 16th December for their last assembly of the year.

Co-hosted by Paige & Travis, 2 year 6 students.

On a sad note, the school has to say goodbye to Mrs Von Keisenberg, Mrs Neemia and Chrissie McKail. Mrs VK will be going to work in Malaysia, and Mrs Neemia will be teaching year 7 children at Maidstone Intermediate. Chrissie was presented with some lovely flowers. Everyone sang Individuality, Mrs VK’s favourite song, and Bad Hair Day, a song that Mrs Neemia particularly liked, even though as she said, it’s something she has never experienced!

Miss Page & Miss Bhana took the opportunity to thank the choir for their hard work during the year.

Unfortunately, Amelia M from Room 2 was away when the End of Year Final Assembly took place last week, so Mrs Poole gave her the certificate during this last assembly.

Renee was given the Neighbourhood Community of award for her valuable help when her mother was about to have a baby, namely calling for the ambulance, getting towels and being very calm the whole time.

Some of the seniors had an opportunity to show their lovely artwork from camp.

Room 15 made some lovely Christmas cards to give to all the teachers and support staff in the school.

Lastly Mr Skilton gave a farewell speech to our wonderful year 6 children who were then allowed to leave the Hall first.

Several of our Stokeswood Residents paid Tawhai School a visit today to view a programme of acts performed by our very talented middle syndicate, whilst enjoying a cup of tea and Christmas cake. Hosted by Josh and Lucy, the residents were treated to a varied range of dancing, from ballet to tap, with some hip hop thrown in the mix.The children then sang some Christmas songs and for a finale the teachers and some of the students had a dance.

Over the next week or so I will be sorting out camp photos and putting them on the website. Many thanks to Dawn Buckley, Fiona Morrison, and Steve Tallon for kindly letting me have their photos to share. If there are any parent helpers or students who have any photos that they would like me to put on the website, could they possibly let me have them over the next few days.
Thank you,
Rosa Stewart

This term we have four football teams competing in the competition at Dyer Street on Monday afternoons. Special thanks to our volunteer coaches and helpers, kym Clough, Aland Koeninger, Lisa Newland and Rachel Tallon.
Unfortunately there are not many teams playing in the league and the competition is quite strong. Well done to all the teams for their courage and determination.
On Friday afternoon from 1.30pm-3.00pm the Football for Schools group will come in and give some extra coaching to all the teams.
