Winter Sports

 
The sun shone and we had a fantastic day at Rex Morpeth Park for winter sports. Thank you Mr Templeton for organising this fun event. Our kids competed fairly and gave every activity 100%. Great effort Apanui!

Sports Skills / Taneatua Sevens

We have been swapping teachers every Monday in preparation for winter sports day. Each week we focus on a different skills session and fun game in hockey, netball, kiwi tag, soccer, and dodge-ball. It has been great fun.

Our middle school sevens team have also been training hard for the Taneatua Sevens and cleaned up the competetion to take out the title. Way to go kids!

The middle school children have been busy exploring the arts! Every Monday we have winter sports, followed by a focus on the Arts. Children are exploring dance, drama, and music. Here are room four enjoying their session on the Marimba. They had fabulous rhythm!

Daffodil Day

In true Apanui spirit, our kids got right into our Daffodil Day parade and dressed in yellow and green to raise money for this worthy cause.

Kids for Kids and Stars at Apanui

A huge shout out to all of our amazing choir kids. You sang like angels at the Kids for Kids concert, and performed like professionals at Stars at Apanui. Keep on singing!
