Te Mahia School Gala 2013

Well the gala has now been and gone for another year. I have worked at a number of schools but the parent and community support at Te Mahia School is one out of the books. Seeing past students and the community get in behind the planning and manning of stalls was awesome. On the day it was great to see the tamariki enjoying so many of the activities that were targeted at them. A special thank you goes to Helena McGregor who stepped up this year and took over the reigns of organising the event. It takes a special person to achieve what she has and the staff and students are incredibly grateful for the continuous hard work Helena and her team managed to pull off. This years putea has been targeted at increasing technology in classrooms. Trialling some devices and software will be up to the children so they can have an input into what will help them be engaged with their learning next year and beyond.
