Matua Rawiri’s Shout Out

Kia o ra e te whānau,

Firstly ‘CONGRAULATIONS’ to our Robocup team who represented our school at the Nationals in Nelson. A huge thank you to Whaea Jess for organising everything from flights, accommodation to fundraising and seeking sponsorship. A huge task in itself but having a kaiako that is passionate about this and getting our students there was amazing. Well done Team! Your wonderful Whaea Jess.

Well done to the three teams of students who participated in the Amazing Race with Whaea Kathryn and two dads Aaron and Carl.

There has been lots of fundraising occurring in the previous weeks for all of our AIMS teams. Thanks coaches and parent helpers. Your commitment doesn’t go unnoticed.

17 students represented our school at the Super 11 Cross. Well done to Frida for placing 2nd in the Year 7 girls dividion against a very tough field.

CONGRATULATIONS National Showquest Toi finalists Radiantly Rogue, our amazing wearable artists Oaklee, Ava, and Ashleigh – Special Award winners ~ Best Interpretation of Design Brief – Imaginary Friends. And Congratulations to team Partysaurus, Blake, Tristan, and Lucas for being awarded a Highly Commended. Very proud of our incredible Mokoia Wearable artists.

2025 – what a year! Our biggest ever for TOI, a year where wearable art and creativity filled every room and space to the absolute brim. From Tai Tokerau Northland down to Invercargill and everywhere in-between, designers ideated, experimented and persevered to bring their visions to life.

Our school is involved is many other activities and sport’s, thanks to all the committed teachers and parents. Giving our students these opportunities is fantastic and great for social experiences.

Have a good weekend everyone!
