Elisapeta @ Edmund Hillary School

EHS is fortunate to have a large contingent of student volunteers who had undergone training with Constable Kelly over two sessions.  We are grateful to have many refreshers as well as new monitors. Hunua Road is one of the most dangerous roads in the area with a constant flow of large trucks throughout the school day.  This makes it very tricky for our Road Patrol monitors before & after school to negotiate a safe call so pedestrians cross safely. Get a glimpse of what Road Patrol monitors do so you (as a pedestrian) knows how vital their role is. https://youtu.be/a-_KD4VN-Dc Always remember to keep looking right and left as you cross at the lights or the pedestrian crossing. Have a wonderful week!

Trust you have been keeping well and safe.   Reminder - Our Google Meet is tomorrow Monday 28/02/22 at 10:00am.   The link has been sent via email. Will see you then xx

 Such a delight to have our beautiful akonga back onsite!  Plenty of connecting and reconnecting with friends.  Here's a snippet during morning interval; making the most of the wonderful summer weather too. Remember your mask, water bottle, and your positive attitude!

Kia Ora whanau, trust you are all well.  Nga mihi atu to many of you who are learning from home.  Great to see you attempting a variety of independent learning tasks.  I encourage you to continue collaborating and interact with your peers as much as possible during these shared mahi.  On-site learning has been great fun for a number who have returned.  Our hauora is foremost and students are making the most of beautiful weather in outdoor integrated curriculum activities.  Many appreciate the opportunity to reconnect and interact with their peers over a game of soccer, hide-n-seek, dodgeball and many more.   Our plane-dart golf proved popular with many who made many modifications to their plane dart to improve distance and air-time.  The olive tree (middle & right) and totara (partial left) in the image below is the last station of our plane-dart golf.  I must say, we are fortunate to have a mixture of natives and fruit trees on o...
