Welcome to Selwyn Ridge School

Manners, Milestones, and Masterful Acting! Kia ora Mrs Ioane and the Kōtuku team for focusing on manners at today’s assembly. The learners in Room 5 did an excellent job modelling how to politely ask Mrs Leggett and Mr Taylor for help through some fun skits. Congratulations to all of our deserved award winners this week - Kei runga noa atu koutou! Special mention to Room 8 and Room 10 for winning the Travel Safe Wednesday challenge.

End of week five and team Tūī's celebration hui showed just how we thrive! Their assembly, led beautifully by Luca and Stark, shared awesome learning in the arts, writing and garden to table. We had fun with a lively movement break and celebrated our soaring high award winners for growing manawa, kete and whakaaro in so many ways. Mrs Smith shared exciting news about our upcoming readathon. We also acknowledged our amazing race and southern cluster athletes and wished our Tauranga Open and Western Bay cross country runners all the best. Ngā mihi to all the whānau who joined us this morning. Kia whakatā pai i tēnei mutunga wiki e te whānau.

Congratulations to all of our runners who did the mahi at the Southern Cluster cross country today. Great to see you out there giving your best. Special thanks to Mrs Taylor and the team for running such a fantastic event.

Disco tomorrow! Tickets on sale in the office after school today and before school tomorrow. Cash only door sales tomorrow night too. Thanks STAR team!

Of course we value them every single day...couldn't do without them in fact! But this week we are celebrating support staff appreciation week with some extra recognition of these extra special people at our kura. A huge shout out to our learning assistants and support and admin staff who are such an integral part of team SRP!

Another great week on the ridge. So many bookmark winners on Monday! At Monday hui Mr Price and Miss Robinson starred in a skit reminding us of our "Muck Up, Own Up, Fix Up and Move On mantra that helps us learn from mistakes. Today team Kāhu led hui, showcasing a fabulous range of learning from across their team: from pepeha to sphero coding to amazing creativity connected to our term's focus on learning through the arts. We celebrated all our fabulous cross country athletes and the legendary Mrs Taylor and her dedicated events team and got excited about next week's upcoming disco too! Kia whakatā, kia koa i tēnei mutunga wiki e te whānau.

Rooms 10 and 3 had a great day of learning downtown today. A fabulous learning experience at the Tauranga library and art gallery.
