Whew!

We have had a fantastic last couple of weeks at Freeville School.

Last week I was fortunate enough to join our Year 8's on their Wellington camp. What a great experience. Our Year 8's are truly very fortunate to have an opportunity like this and I have to say that Paul our AP does a tremendous job working with these young people. We are very lucky to have him at our school.

At Capital E the students looked at creating 3D animated online games in their first session and made their own TV News programme in the second. They visited Parilament, Wellington Zoo, Te Papa and the City Gallery. They travelled by plane, bus, train, tram and ferry.

We are very proud of our Year 8 students. They are engaged, polite, grateful and great fun. It was a pleasure to go on camp with them and our three fantastic camp mums.

Today we have our first Freeville Fair for 10 years. What a great community event this is turning out to be. We are very grateful to Rachael and her team for their stirling efforts and to everyone who has supported the fair. I know it will be a great success.
