Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kura
Welcome to Selwyn Ridge School

Room 13's turn for the fantastic Rūna yachting experience (https://www.runa-yachtingnz.org.nz) today. How lucky are our tamariki? Thanks again Yachting NZ and Sport Bay of Plenty Tū Manawa fund for helping us to provide this amazing learning opportunity.

Our 2025 Y6 Road Patrol crew have kicked into action for the year. They are doing a fantastic job already! Ngā mihi maioha for keeping our tamariki safe crossing the roads around our kura! REMINDER FOR WHĀNAU: - Please use the designated crossing areas at all times - Please DO NOT park on any yellow lines or across surrounding driveways, you will be asked to move! - The carpark is for staff vehicles, please arrange to drop off and pick your child up at another point around the school He waka eke noa - we are all in this together

A perfect day for room 5’s yachting adventure today (minus a little bit of wind) A big ngā mihi to Sport Bay of Plenty’s Tū Manawa fund for enabling this fantastic learning experience for our tamariki!

Happy campers getting the prep done!

Another awesome and inspiring day up on the ridge! We would like to give a shout out to canoe/kayak sprint Olympian Max Brown for coming along today and sharing his amazing journey with our senior students - along with the realities of hard work and sacrifice. Not only is Max a world class athlete, he is very multi talented also being an amazing musician! Read more at https://olympic.org.nz/athletes/max-brown He iti hau marangai e tū te pāhokahoka - Just like a rainbow after the storm, success follows failure One of the many key messages our ākonga took away today from Max Brown is - 'Dreams are only dreams until you wake up and make them real'.

Today we gave a wet welcome to runners from the Sri-Chinmoy Peace Run, a global relay that aims to inspire the creation of a more peaceful world. Our tamariki learned about the countries the relay has crossed and were encouraged to take in the mantra “peace begins with me.”

Kia ora koutou, What a fantastic end to our first full wiki for the year! Classes are settled into mahi, tamariki are smiling and we are off to an awesome start. Kia pai te mutunga wiki - have a good weekend whānau. See you all on Monday.
