Project Energise

 We are very fortunate to be part of the Sport Northland Project Energise program. Over recent years our Energiser has been Garth, but we now have a new Energiser named Morgana. Students across the school have enjoyed learning how to stay fit, healthy and active every second Monday with Morgana. She has taught our students how to stretch before and after games or physical activity and fun, new games that they can play. The students have thoroughly enjoyed having Morgana at school and look forward to learning more from her.
