What a year we have had at Myross Bush School. It has been another action packed one with so many events and learning opportunities.

We are very lucky to have supportive parents and whānau who support us with all of these by either driving vehicles, coaching teams or supporting on the sidelines, helping build or create things with our students, and looking after groups on field trips.

We appreciate you! There are a number of events on our yearly calendar and here are a few photos from our year.

Cross Country earlier in the year is a great day out with other Southern Zone schools to compete for the title - Southern Zone Champion. It is a good chance for our endurance runners to showcase their abilities.

Term 4 we showcased our Art talents with our Community Hāngi and Arts Extravaganza evening.

The students completed a range of visual art ideas to display. Each class then performed an item on stage.

It was a wonderful evening and we are grateful for our Māori whānau for guiding us through the hāngi process before enjoying the shared kai.

We care for our environment with one of our values being Whakapai Aki.

Everyone takes a shared responsibility in caring for our school by pulling weeds in the gardens, picking up rubbish and looking after our sports equipment.

We are lucky to head off on field trips throughout the year. Our year 3 & 4 students recently went to Bluff to learn more about the purakau of Te Ara a Kiwa / Foveaux Strait

Our annual Pet Day was a huge success. We had a variety of animals from lambs and dogs to tadpoles and worms and everything in between.

It was a close race in the lamb drinking races and the dog obedience course was a challenge for all.

It was great to have some pre-schools come along and enjoy the grand parade with us.

Polyfest was a time to shine on stage. The mana the school had on the stage while they performed the haka and sung waiata was great to see.

It was a proud school moment to see our tuakana (older students) supporting our teina (younger students) while they sung their waitata.

It is also the time of the year where we farewell our Year 6 leavers as they head off on their next learning adventure at High School.

They are a wonderful group of students and we know they will go on to do great things in the future.

Merry Christmas everyone From Myross Bush School.
