ELECTION DAY

RPS we surpassed all expectations! The election organisers anticipated that we would get around 250 voters through the door. Thanks to you all we had 520 voters and of these 203 were special votes. This was fantastic. Go RPS whānau!

POHUTUKAWA CAMP

It was great watching 125 very excited tamariki heading off to camp yesterday. Our Pohutukawa Team has two nights, and three days at the Carey Park Christian Camp in Henderson Valley.

Randwick Park School tamariki have the challenge of getting 100% attendance for Term 4.  Everyone who achieves this goes in the draw to win a scooter and helmet.  At the moment we have 253 people or 37% of the school in the draw! Keep it up RPS.

MANU TIORIORI FESTIVAL

Tomorrow evening our Kahui Ako (community of schools) is holding its inaugural Manu Tioriori Festival at Due Drop Events Centre. Our choir is performing songs with our Tongan Cultural Group. We are very excited to have both groups showing some of the tremendous talents within our kura.

DUFFY ROLE MODEL ASSEMBLY
FRIDAY 3 NOV, 9:40 AM

You are very welcome to join us. Here is a little bit about our special guest:

Kenape Saupese: Kenape’s parents migrated to Aotearoa from Samoa. He grew up within the church environment where at a very young age he discovered a talent in music and carried this on to commence a music career.

Kenapa was privileged to receive Pacific Music Awards, Māori Music Awards, and an Aotearoa Music Award.

Reading has been an important part of helping him in his music creation process specifically in the art of writing music. It has helped to increase his vocabulary skills as an artist, and this is vital in being able to convey feelings through the lyrics and music that he has composed. Kenape is humbled to be a role model for Duffy Books.
