🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️ Our Travelwise Leaders Take the Stage! 🚗🚦

In today's whole-school assembly, our fantastic Travelwise Leaders took to the stage to deliver an excellent presentation about keeping our community safe.

They spoke directly to our students about how busy the school gates and parking areas can get during drop-off and pick-up times, and they promoted some wonderful, safe alternatives for getting to school.

Our leaders are encouraging everyone to try these safe options:

🚶🏻‍♀️Park and Walk: Parking a little further away from the school gate and walking the last few minutes together.

🚶🏻‍♀️Active Travel: Walking to school with friends, or riding a bike or scooter (remembering to always wear a helmet!).

This is just the beginning! Watch this space as our passionate Travelwise learners take action directly at the school gates starting in Term 3 to help keep everyone safe.

Thank you to our leaders for stepping up and looking out for our school community!

🥇 What an amazing way to start a Friday! 🥇

This morning, we officially launched the PVS Commonwealth Games! It was an incredible experience for our learners, who were walked into the hall to the sound of the bagpipes.

🎶 A HUGE shout-out to Ricco for playing the bagpipes for us! You did an absolutely amazing job, Ricco, and made the morning so special for everyone! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙌

To help support our children’s learning, they will be discovering how the Commonwealth Games bring together athletes from over 70 different nations and territories every four years to compete in the spirit of friendship. Known as the "Friendly Games," it is a unique event where para-sports are completely integrated into the main competition, showing our learners a wonderful example of equality and inclusion. This supports our school value of RESPECT.

Our fantastic Whānau Captains led the special assembly, where each class drew a Commonwealth country that they will be learning all about in the coming weeks. It is such a wonderful opportunity for "learning together" and bringing our school community closer. 🌍✨

The countdown is officially on! Watch this space as we prepare to hold our very own PVS Commonwealth Games on Friday, 31st July! 🏆🏅

A huge shout out to the amazing team, who have got this all organised making PVS such a special place to be!
