Last week, our incredible William Pike Challenge girls stepped out of their comfort zones and rolled straight into the world of roller derby!

From learning how to fall safely to finding their balance and crushing new skills, these girls showed true grit, teamwork, and resilience. Total rockstars on wheels!🛼💥

Values Cup 🏆

Congratulations to Victoria, our latest Values Cup recipient!

Ms Coatsworth had us all engaged with a creative guessing game, sharing incredible pictures from space that spelled out Victoria's name.

Through these clues, Ms Coatsworth highlighted how beautifully Victoria lives out our school values every day, proving herself to be a true KIPRRR girl through and through. The school learned all about Victoria's perseverance and resilience, and how she absolutely never gives up on a challenge. Alongside her excellent work ethic, Victoria is a wonderful friend to many in our school.

We are so incredibly proud of you, Victoria!

Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui!
Be strong, be brave, be steadfast!

🎶 St John’s Senior Choir was so excited to be at Donovan Primary for our first round of Sing Out rehearsals. We were delighted to connect with Miss Sarah Rae, our Sing Out choir director. Miss Rae is a proud “old girl” and former house captain for Marchant House. Her legacy sure lives on in the beautiful singing we were treated to this morning. 🎶
