2018 Term Dates : Term 3 23rd July - 28th Sept. Term 4 15th Oct - 18th Dec
Sir Peter Blake: Sarah received a Young Leader Award. These awards celebrate young people whose
outstanding leadership uplifts their school community. By acknowledging leadership at this young age, we hope
it encourages these talented young people to keep going and to aim higher.
Sarah won this award as she is an amazing athlete, with many athletics, swimming and triathlon
successes. She is a great leader at our school always prepared to help others, staff, students and the wider
community. She has a friendly manner always reliable with a good sense of humour. She is fully involved in
sports, art and cultural activities in and out of school.
This term, the focus is oral - listening and speaking.
Apiti School Speech Competition
We would like to congratulate all the students for presenting their speeches on Friday and especially Sarah who won the Apiti Speech competition and Johnny who was second. Both these students will represent Apiti in the Oroua Schools competition this Thursday the 23rd of August at the Oroua Clubrooms in Kimbolton, starting at 1pm. We would like all senior room students to attend this event, but will depend on transport, so please let the school know as soon as possible if you are able to help out. We would like to thank Linda for judging this competition and to the parents who attended this event.
