Winter sports are in full swing as the season hots up. Each Saturday our netball and rugby teams give it 100% under the dedicated watch of parent volunteer coaches and their many supporters. Our 6th grade rugby team had their first taste of tackle rugby on Saturday after starting off the season playing rippa. They had a wonderful time!
ALMOST! Santina loses her rip in the tackle.
Winter sports programmes are in full swing at the moment with our netball and rugby teams currently completing their grading games. We sent a team along to the Cambridge Rippa Rugby tournament and they performed exceptional well, winning three out of their four games. Anton from Project Energise is also running football sessions, our Jump Jam leaders take the school through a daily aerobics programme and the gymnastics festival is fast approahing. What a fit bunch we are a Karapiro School!
School leaders Rose and Charlotte, accompanied by Luke and Jakob, place the Karapiro School wreath at the Cambridge Cenotaph on ANZAC Day.
The autumn term is shaping up to be a cracker with many highlights including an inquiry learning study of space and our solar system. We will also be running our popular electives programme and taking part in a gymnastics festival. Our Police Education Officer Steve Ryburn will be helping us out with a ‘Keeping Orselves Safe ‘ unit and, of course, all of our winter sports teams kick off their seasons.
We will be holding a special ANZAC day assembly at school on Tuesday 24th April starting at 10.00 am. Everyone is welcome.

High finance with Reiane and Brodie!
Brodie from the ASB visited each of our classes to share some important messages about finance. Brodie reinforced the importance of saving some of what we earn and how to distinguish between our ‘needs’ and wants.’
We were so very impressed by the efforts of our students at the Te Miro triathlon. Everyone gave 100% and swam, cycled and ran strongly!
Tom gives it plenty in the bike leg.
Congratulations to everyone who finished this demanding event. Special congratulations to those who achieved top placings and especially to Wade who won the 8 year old boys’ race.
Blake flies through the swim to bike transition.
Thank you to everyone who came along to support the team and to everyone who provided transport!
Luke completes the swim.
