He rau ringa e oti ai

It is true - many hands make light work and although, as we are well aware, the 'work' may not feel light at times, in time we always look back and think.... ahhhhhh.... look what good came of that!

All of the hands that went into the Fair....... so I am delighted and incredibly appreciative to be able to announce that........

$38,000

WOW WOW WOW WOW 

Still plenty of work to be done from now until the end of the year. I always say uphill climb, as this means we are in the best possible starting position to complete another terrific year right from DAY ONE. This means some striving and digging deep from the team over the next 3 weeks. 

I, funnily enough, got a text from Jenny the other day (some of you may not know Jenny - she taught in the Seniors and left for the UK at the end of last year). She asked  about how we were going with 'the uphill climb'. (She will actually also be reading this as she sits down with coffee every Friday morning to read through our Newsletter before heading off to her London school. "Kia ora, Jenny!"

Days are long, time is short..... and we have plenty to keep your diary full.

After the terrific Kapa Haka Assembly today, we ........ continue with Progress Meetings - hope you are all booked in!
