Samoan Language Week 2020

This year for Samoan Language Week 2020, the Samoan group had the task of preparing an item that would be viewed on a livestream at our school assembly. Sadly we did not get the chance to view their item live on stage due to the lockdown restrictions. But we did manage to capture their stunning performance on video so that we could watch it again. Well done Samoan Group! Here are some of the highlights.

Year 5&6 Camp Concert Items 2020

The Year 5&6 Camp was held in Week 6 of Term 1. The students had such an amazing time participating in many neat activities such as kayaking, swimming, water slides, cycling and much more. On the Thursday night a camp concert was held and each team (6 Teams in total) had to perform an item in front of an audience in the hall. Mr Goodwin was an amazing MC and Ms Haare was awesome at keep us all entertained in between all the items. There could only be one winner, so congratulations to Team Weka!

Thank you to our wonderful prefects for demonstrating what using your WITS might look like.

PES School Picnic 2020

Each year we have a school picnic down at our very own Pt England Beach. The weather was amazing and everyone had a fantastic time. Thank you to Mr Burt, staff, teachers and all of our wonderful parent helpers for making it happen!

Meet the Teacher!

We have a team of amazing teachers at our school. At the start of the term we had a Meet the Teacher Day where parents had the opportunity to meet their child's teacher. Thank you to all of our parents who came along to have a korero (chat/talk) with our teachers.

Lazy Sneakers @ PES!

Have you heard about Lazy Sneakers! Maia Mariner is the young person who created this charity to help students. Lazy Sneakers collect reusable sneakers from the community and distribute to people for free so they can play, participate and reach their potential. Many students at our school were lucky enough to receive a pair of shoes when Lazy Sneakers came along to our school. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity Lazy Sneakers and Maia!

Pay Attention - Prefects Korero

The following movie was created by our prefects for their korero of the week - Pay Attention. It's all about the importance of paying attention. If you pay attention then you will be able to follow the correct instructions that you have been given. So listen to your teachers, coaches and to your peers. We hope that you pay attention in class, on the sports field and at home.
