We interviewed some Tomarata students and teachers to see what their thoughts were about the new charges.

Well done, Rhys and Jamie. I am pleased to see your level of concern for our environment and I like the way you are using your ICT skills to present the information. Mrs Duffin.

How many visitors have we had?

Congratulations to the 30 students who challenged themselves to swim 200 metres at the lake as part of the Swim for Life water safety challenge this year. The water was pleasantly warm but pretty choppy with a reasonably strong wind pushing the water into our faces as we ventured out to the buoys that were our distance markers. What a great achievement with everyone who started out getting home safely. Many many thanks to the parents who supported us by swimming or manning the kayaks or providing transport.

Superb effort! The weather on the day made it even more of a challenge, so I am very proud of the positive way that way you approached the swim.

Our trip to Whangateau Harbour

On Wednesday 9th March rooms 1, 3, and 6 went on a trip to Whangateau harbour. We had a visit to a marine scientist, Roger Grace. He told us about the sea life in Whangateau harbour and some interesting things that most of us didn't know.
