Poetry Finals

Congratulations to the 17 students who took part in the Tamanui te Ra poetry finals on Thursday! It was a very hard job to choose the four students to go through to the school finals as all of the recitals were of a very high standard. Congratulations goes to Paige, Riley, Tayla and Shanti who will be representing our syndicate at the Year 8 finals on the last day of the term. Well done!
