Coats for Kids Assembly

He mihi matakuikui ki a koutou. (A joyous greeting to you all)

We had a great day yesterday and really enjoyed being able to gather together as a whole school for our 'Coats for Kids' thank you assembly.

We are so grateful to the friends of Freeville School who worked together with us to make this initiative successful. In particular our thanks goes to Kate Twigg, our friends at Macpac, Todd and Pam from King's Swim School, Duncan Clarke from Cafe Roma who helped with accessing publicity and sponsors, and all the individuals, schools, and groups who contributed towards the sponsorship costs.

Our quote of the day comes from a conversation between Pierre from Macpac and one of our children who when asked if he liked the jacket responded, "It's like wearing a hug."

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi. Engari he toa takitini. (Success is not the work of one, but the work of many.)

Nga mihi ki a koutou katoa.
