December and Student Success

"Tis the time of year where we deck the halls


. . . with awards of recognition and celebration


… and the odd sparkly decoration. "

There is so much to celebrate in the Fernside School Community and parents are a massive part of that.
Thank you . Have a lovely warm and relaxed summer break (and some rain too I hope). Annabel

6 classes descended on Rangiora Golf Club last week so the students could experience the game for real. They appreciated the opportunity to have putting competitions and walk the fairways with their peers and parents. There was much laughter and celebration, and entertainment as promised!

This week 19 students represented the Rakahuri Zone at the Canterbury Athletics Championships in Ashburton. Many students achieved PB's and made finals in races.
To top that , Amelia Fungavaka won the 10 girls Shot Put with a throw of 8.82m smashing her previous School record! Congratulations Amelia.

Today, all 4 of our School Basketball Teams will take to the court, many for the last time as they transition to High School, for the NCJBA Finals. Good luck to all the teams and a
MASSIVE THANKS TO OUR COACHES: LUCAS, KELLIE, MITCHELL, MEGAN & MR BAILEY.

Last week Jacob, Ashton & Cohan competed in the Canterbury Triathlon achieving fantastic times and credible placings. Jacob took out 11th in the 11 boys, Ashton 17th in 10 boys & Cohan 18th in 9 boys.
