🥇 What an amazing way to start a Friday! 🥇

This morning, we officially launched the PVS Commonwealth Games! It was an incredible experience for our learners, who were walked into the hall to the sound of the bagpipes.

🎶 A HUGE shout-out to Ricco for playing the bagpipes for us! You did an absolutely amazing job, Ricco, and made the morning so special for everyone! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙌

To help support our children’s learning, they will be discovering how the Commonwealth Games bring together athletes from over 70 different nations and territories every four years to compete in the spirit of friendship. Known as the "Friendly Games," it is a unique event where para-sports are completely integrated into the main competition, showing our learners a wonderful example of equality and inclusion. This supports our school value of RESPECT.

Our fantastic Whānau Captains led the special assembly, where each class drew a Commonwealth country that they will be learning all about in the coming weeks. It is such a wonderful opportunity for "learning together" and bringing our school community closer. 🌍✨

The countdown is officially on! Watch this space as we prepare to hold our very own PVS Commonwealth Games on Friday, 31st July! 🏆🏅

A huge shout out to the amazing team, who have got this all organised making PVS such a special place to be!

📅 Three Way Conferences: Bookings are Now Open on Hero📅

Bookings are now open on the Hero app for our upcoming Term 2 Three Way Conference!

These conferences are a fantastic opportunity to check in, discuss your child's progress, and ask questions about their achievement in relation to the new Ministry of Education reporting requirements.

This is a shared learning journey, so children attend the conference alongside their whānau. It is a wonderful time for child, whānau, and teacher to come together and celebrate their hard work and progress.
