Today, once we got past the crazy weather it was time for our year 4-6 prize giving. Each class is given 7 awards to celebrate our kids and all their hard work. I would also like to acknowledge the rest of our class who also worked tirelessly to make gains in their learning and their work ethic. I look forward to them pushing themselves next year to grow more and to work more. The competition for next year will be very fierce! These children are a testament to themselves but also their whanau. I wish them all the best for the future!
We also had Ryley Swatton come 3rd in the year 5/6 speech finals and he was also a runner up in the year 5 Maths excellence award.
Madison Brace was a runner up in our school citizenship award.

We are truly honoured in our class to have the head boy for 2019 come from our class. Peni Kautai is an exemplary student who I feel goes above and beyond in all he does. He has leadership qualities that will grow with time. He cares about his fellow students and always tries to be a great role model. He is always willing to give anything a go and always tries his best. Peni will lead with Edrian as his deputy. The head girl is Roslyn and her deputy is Anakiu.
Peni was a runner up in the year 5 Academic and Attitude award, the Pride Values cup award and the Performing Arts award.

As we wrap up the year I feel really blessed to have been the teacher in Whakapono 21. I do this job because I want to see children succeed and be the best independent version of themselves they can be by working hard. This gift I received from Peni and his whanau will be treasured by me forever!
