Stanley Avenue School Mural

During the course of this year the School has benefitted from our special group of year seven and eights.  These students have been committed to making a difference within our School.  A leadership camp at the beginning of the year led to a range of electives being formed. 

Mrs Hayes facilitated the group, asking questions, prompting and guiding the sutdents.  This involved wriitng letters to sponsors, generating ideas, through to the creation of an amazing mural. 

Yesterday we unveiled the mural.  Each student spoke briefly about the mural, and what it meant to them.  Thank you to Mrs Hayes, the students and the sponsors for making this dream a reality.

Learning to change

An interesting video that was played during the introduction of our staff meeting this week.  Stanley Avenue School is investigating the benefits of a learning management system (website that can be used by learners, parents and teachers) and the use of mobile computers to enhance learning. What do you think of the video? Comments are welcomed!

Waikato Full Primary Cross Country

On Wednesday Stanley Avenue School sent a team of ten to the Waikato Full Primary Cross Country Competition. The results, like the weather were stunning. Stanley Avenue School students took out three of the four individual trophies with Meg Skilton, Taine Sweeney and Maddie White winning their year level. These results were backed up by an outstanding run by Campbell Millward (who came third), Ashley Haddon (13th), Luke Jerkovich (19th) and solid team performances from Maya, Christian and Carlos.


These are results to be very proud of as each race had up to 100 competitors from Schools from all over the Waikato region. Well Done!
