Daffodil Day

Yellow was the colour of the day on Friday 31 August for Riwaka School students as they placed money on the coin trail in the playground to raise funds for the Cancer Society Daffodil Day. Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved $188.40 was donated.

Farewell to Jane Adams

Friday 17 August was the final day for Jane as a teacher here at Riwaka School.  Jane has retired after 41 years in the teaching profession.  Staff, students, parents both past and present gave her a great send off complete with red carpet treatment.  Riwaka School will miss Jane. 

We wish Jane and Strachan all the best in their retirement adventures together.

Volleyball Coaching

Armins Vehsderis came into taught Rooms 5 - 8 skills in volleyball.  Some of the skills taught were serving, passing, setting and how to do a volley.  We all had a go by working with buddies.  Armins plays for the Nelson Volleyball team so he was perfect for the job of coaching us.  The instructions we got were clear and understandable and we look forward to his next visit.

40 Hour Famine

40 Hour Famine

Congratulations to the 30 students who stayed the night at school last Thursday  to complete the 20 Hour Famine. They were a privilege to give up my comfy bed for.  A special thank you to Jo Bryant and Nina Pelling for also giving up their beds to help me with their supervision.

Students need to have their sponsorship money to the office along with the sponsorship booklets by this Thursday.
