🎶 Friday Music at Point View School! 🎻🪈

One of the absolute highlights of being Principal at PVS is seeing the incredible talent across our school and watching our children flourish in their passions!

It was a real privilege today to drop in and see our strings and flutes sections of the orchestra in full practice. Hearing their music fill the school on a Friday is such a wonderful way to end the week.

Well done to all of our talented musicians, keep up the fantastic work! ✨👏

🌟 Middle Syndicate Assembly Success! 👏

A huge thank you to all the parents, whānau, and family members who came along to support our Middle Syndicate assembly this morning! It was wonderful to see such a fantastic turnout.

Assemblies are such a valuable time for our learners, not only do they get to let their learning shine, but they also build immense confidence presenting and performing in front of an audience.

At Point View School, we deeply value all families ongoing support and partnership. You are always welcome to come along! 💙✨

✨ Unlocking Innovation Through Our STEM Programme! 🔨⭐

One of the unique qualities of Point View School is the incredible hands on opportunities our learners experience each term through our specialised STEM programme.

This term, our Year 1 and Year 2 learners have been working hard on an exciting project! After exploring the magic of constellations, the students built their very own star artwork from scratch. Along the way, they put a whole range of practical skills into action, measuring, sawing, sanding, colouring, hammering nails, and carefully stretching loom bands across their wooden bases.

The students worked incredibly hard, demonstrated great persistence, and are so proud of what they created! 🌟

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ HPPA Cross Country Success! 🏆👟
