Joseph Parker @ Pt England School

Today we were extremely lucky to have a special guest at assembly. Joseph Parker is a professional boxer who became the first heavyweight boxer from NZ to win a major world championship. His advice for our students was 'to believe in yourself' and that 'nothing beats hard work'. Thank you Joseph Parker!

Mr Burt Special Assembly

On Friday at assembly we celebrated Mr Burts achievement from the Queens Birthday Honours list 2020. Mr Burt is now a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his work in the field of Education. We also acknowledged the work of Mrs Burt who along with Mr Burt are the founders and leaders of the Manaiakalani Programme. We are so lucky and blessed to have such wonderful leaders at our school.

40 Hour Famine Team 2020

This year our 40 Hour Famine Team was a little smaller than usual. Due to the lockdown we couldn't confirm whether we were even going to have a team, but luckily we managed to put together a team at short notice. Instead of having our annual sleepover at school to mark the 40 Hour Famine and to start our 20 Hours of fasting (no eating), we held a workshop at school. We hope that you enjoy the following movie. Thank you to all of the families and friends of our students who have sponsored them this year.
