Kid's Lit Quiz 2018

Do you think you could answer 100 questions about children's authors, book characters, nursery rhymes under pressure? Well that's what Arlo, Jake, Saffron and Jessie faced today at St Patrick's School in Greymouth. The quizmaster in charge was Wayne Mills a past senior lecturer at the Faculty of Education, University of Auckland. Jake's mum, Sandra said that he kept the questions pumping along meaning the team had to really think on their feet.

House Sports

It was in brilliant Autumn conditions that the first House Sports for Term 2 kicked off today. The activities were all organised and run by the Sports Council. The games covered a range of skills and saw students show our school values as they helped each other, challenged themselves and had a whole heap of fun.
