Learning Conversations<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This week, the Junior School hosted Parent\/Teacher Learning Conversations with grade teachers and many of our specialist teachers. I trust that the opportunity to meet your daughter\u2019s teachers, either online or face-to-face, was valuable. If your daughter has a different Mathematics teacher, you will have an opportunity to meet with them next week in most grades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On Wednesday evening, our co-curricular dance students from the ballet, jazz and contemporary ensembles competed in the Wakakirri Story Dance Challenge.
