Winning House T2
28 Aug 2026

Kia Ora

Last term, Te Puea House emerged as our overall winning house! Because of how busy the end of term was, we unfortunately weren't able to celebrate their achievement with a proper reward at the time.

To acknowledge their hard work and success, all students in Te Puea House are invited to wear home clothes to school this coming Monday.

Ngaa mihi
