Welcome Back for 2011

Hope everyone has had a good start to the year.
Sommerville opens for students on Thursday the 3rd of February.

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for a Great Year

iPads and Special Needs

Many of our parents are beginning to look at the iPads as ways of motivating, teaching and giving access to their children. We have purchased some iPads here at school and are trialling them out in different classes.
To support this idea we have created a blog to show reviews of what apps we are using and to share with our community ideas on how to use this new technology.

Check it out from the link in the menu on our main website. Feel free to offer suggestions or start a discussion.

Principal for a Day

Our School enjoys being a part of the Principal for a day programme, where senior business people from the local community get to spend the day in our school and see what is happening.
Here is a short film about the programme running in Manukau.
Keep an eye out for our Principal Diane!

Sommerville Festival 2010

Last Saturday staff, students and families converged on the school to help celebrate at the Sommerville Festival. It was a fantastic day with great cultural food, painting activities, art auctions, dance performances, music workshops, produce to buy and a cafe to relax in.

What a great day!

Class of the Week!

Senior Dance 2010

Everyone turned out for our Senior School Dance last week and had an awesome time dancing the night away. We have been practicing our dancing all year with Allie (our dance teacher) and it really paid off.  A big thanks to students from St Kents for their great DJ skills and help with the lighting and to all the staff and parents for their help organising and getting involved.

What a great night!!!
