Wow, just like that, Term 2 is wrapping up! As we officially pass the shortest day of the year, we're already looking forward to those gradually lengthening days and the return of sunshine. It's always a welcome shift as we head into the second half of the school year.

Term 2 has been absolutely packed with rich learning and so many memorable moments. Our students truly shone, showing incredible curiosity, creativity, and perseverance in their work. A real highlight was our Unit of Inquiry on sustainability, where students dove deep into how our actions impact the planet and explored real-world solutions to global issues. In maths, their focus on measurement, decimals, proportions, and ratios really challenged and stretched students' thinking, and it's fantastic to see so many making such strong progress.

Outside the classroom, our extracurricular programme continues to thrive! Students have represented Berkley with so much pride and enthusiasm at sports camp, various WIMS tournaments, chess competitions and lit quiz. 

None of these successes would be possible without the ongoing support of our dedicated staff, our involved whānau, and, of course, the vibrant energy and spirit of our amazing ākonga. Thank you all so much!

Get Ready for Camp Rock!

Looking ahead, we're incredibly excited for our 2025 Berkley Production of Camp Rock, being performed at the Clarence Street Theatre on 13–14 August! This is going to be an unmissable event. Mark your calendars – tickets come on sale during the holidays, so be sure to snap them up before they sell out!

Term 3 promises to be just as exciting and challenging as term 2, bringing new opportunities for growth, leadership, and learning. We can't wait to welcome everyone back after a well-deserved break, refreshed and ready for what's ahead.

Thank you again for your incredible support. Have a safe, restful, and joyful holiday break with your whānau.
