The Te Reo Tuatahi Programme is being run across the Year 7&8 Department. The programme upskills teachers and students in their ability to speak Te Reo Māori with authentic kaupapa Māori themes. Te Puna Reo Māori Ltd and Te Tuatahi Trust have kindly opened the programme up to all parents in the College at no cost. Online whānau lessons are now available.
The first whānau lesson explains the opening and closing karakia, and takes whānau through the first week of the Matariki learning unit. Each whānau lesson will be around 30 minutes. These will be available for 2-3 weeks via a password protected page on the Te Puna Reo Māori website. This can only be accessed by using the link below and the password.

Pulse Netball Training Session
Pulse Netball Training Session
20 students from year 7 to 13 spent the morning at Nga Purapura taking part in a training session with the Pulse Netball Team. This was an awesome opportunity for all involved and our attending students really enjoyed the session learning new skills and getting to know the Pulse players.
Youth Week
Youth Week
We participated in NZ Aotearoa Youth Week from June 15-19. The theme was Rangatira mō āpōpō? Rangatira 1 tēnei rā! Leaders of tomorrow? Leaders for today!
We appreciated KYS youth reps coming in and doing a leadership activity with students with the reward of a free sausage sizzle.
KCDC Youth Reps also came with an interactive activity and sumo wrestling for the students to participate in.
NZ Bully Free week also coincided with Youth week.

Steam Incorporated is an Incorporated Society, dedicated to the restoration to full working order of ex-New Zealand Government Railways locomotives and rolling stock to provide unique rail journeys on the KiwiRail railway lines of New Zealand, educating the children of today on what rail travel in New Zealand once was like, and the importance it held within our local communities.
This ‘one-day-only’ event on the 8th is a huge undertaking, offering 10 different train experiences for the individual or the whole family! From a breakfast onboard as we race through the Hutt Valley, or an afternoon sprint up the Kapiti Coast to Paekakariki traversing the Escarpment, we’ve got something for everyone. Train services depart from Wellington, Upper Hutt and Paekakariki, being hauled by our 1956-built steam locomotive heading north, and our 1955-built diesel electric locomotive heading south.
