Hello again , welcome back to another week at the greatest school in the world!

A special welcome to Miss Pausler - who is relieving today in Rm 4,  she is back on Wednesday also! It's great to have you here.

Well, the weekend has come and gone very quickly, I had a busy weekend watching the All Blacks deal to Wales on Saturday night, and Sunday afternoon watched the Warriors grab a last minute win over the Sydney Roosters. Awesome!!!! I hope Kevin Locke is ok!??

Northern Mystics goal shooter Catherine Latu will be visiting Glenavon School on Monday July 19 to work with our middle school netball teams from 10-11am.

This is an AWESOME opportunity for our teams and we are very thankful to the Northern Mystics for getting her here and also to Tim Lythe from NZ Netball who has helped organise this visit.

Don't forget the Year 7/8 classes are off to MOTAT next Friday, July 2 (last day of term)  to participate in the Fonterra Science Roadshow - Wow, that is going to be a fantastic day!!

This year has been a real challenge for school gardeners.  The dry season didn't help much.  At the end of term 1, plants that had gone to seed were harvested. The seeds were grown in trays, and this week we planted them out in our garden.  We won't know what the plants are until they are a little bigger.  We would like to thank the Room 1 boys for digging over the garden last week ready for our plants.

On Thursday the 10th of June, our the Middle school Hockey Team went to Blockhouse Bay Primary for a game.  We won 3-2.  It was windy and cold, but we had a great game.  Shu Xin was palyer of the match.  Reporter: Monica.
