After the last  few years of school closures due to COViD I was looking forward to my first full and normal year as a Principal.

It sadly wasn't to be though!  The Auckland floods at the end of January and then Cyclone Gabriele saw the first day of school delayed by 2 days and then school closed again the following week.  We delayed the Year 7 and 8 camp and hunkered down.

It wasn't until the fourth week that we had been at school for a full week!  It was exhausting, the weather was still very unpredictable and attendance was a bit lower than expected.  That said though, it was an exciting week to get under our belt!

The year 5 and 6 team got out to camp and we crossed our fingers that the weather would hold for the year 7 and 8s as another tropical cyclone formed in the pacific!
