Book Character Day
Book Character Day
Another amazing NBC event as the children celebrated a week of reading by... well reading I'm sure! We were allowed to come in a character disguise and the NBC whānau didn't disappoint. The only challenge was picking the best because there were som many awesome costumes.
Next up we got to go to the hall and pick FREE books. These had been donated by our own community and organised by our clever PTFA crew of parents. So it was a case of share and share alike with many a book finding a loving new home.
Read about it indeed!

Another PTFA masterclass as they brought us together to dance, party, eat, and build those relationships at the Grace's Vineyard in New Brighton.
Matariki
Matariki
The sun was shining and the jugs were boiling as we prepared for our Matariki celebration. We started with a mihi to welcome new whanau and children to the school. The Kapa Haka group knocked it out of the park. Next up we lined up for a delicious hot chocolate and a piece of cake before we went and looked at all the wonderful art around the school. Our celebration ended with a choice of stations including art, dance, weaving, games and puzzles.

Rugby Return
Rugby Return
This term we were lucky to be visited by several of the Canterbury NPC rugby players. For some it was a homecoming as Billy Harmon and Sars Flood are both former students at NBC! We got to get some insight into the life of a professional rugby player and had a great time asking questions.
