Dear Parents and Caregivers
Welcome to Pehiatea Te Wake-Arona (Room 11) who started at Henley School recently.
Last week we had over 60 children involved in the Rock da
House mass choir at the Trafalgar Centre. This is a biennial
event organised by music teacher, John Phillips and others involving around 21
Primary and Intermediate School Choirs from the Nelson and Waimea area
joining to sing a range of uplifting songs. There are also soloists and guest artists
and we have a number of Henley students who have been selected for the
‘Backbeat’ choir. Well done to all of the children who performed. A huge thanks
to parents who provided transport to rehearsals and to Miss Samantha Hickman
who was the Henley teacher in charge.
Last week we also had a Henley School ski team
competing up at the Rainbow Skifield in the
Rainbow Regional Inter-Primary School Champs.
Our team members were:
• Cole Clarke • Ethan Clarke • Summer Clarke • Maddie Sinclair
The team had a great day skiing on the fresh spring snow, and we look forward to
competing in this event again next year. Thanks to Caroline Clarke who transported
and managed the team on the day.
We have a number of activities and groups for our children to take part in during
lunchtime. One group that makes a real difference around the school is the gardening
group under the supervision of Mrs Donna Elkington. They have planted out a number
of areas including our school raised planters in the vegetable garden. Mr Satherley,
our school Caretaker, also helps maintain the plants. Earlier this year we lost a number
of plants in the drought – if anyone has some natives they would like to donate they
would be much appreciated – particularly for ground cover. A big thanks to Mike
O’Connor from Appleby Fresh Farm for supplying us with seedlings for our vegetable
garden.
Finally, thanks to all the staff for a fine term’s work and to the parents and caregivers
for continuing to support the school. I hope you have an enjoyable holiday break for
the next two weeks and look forward to seeing you all back safely for the start of
Term 4 on Monday 14th October.
No reira, noho ora mai rā (so look after yourself) and
hei konā rā (Goodbye for now), John

Henley retains the Mannering Cup!
On Tuesday 24th of
September, Henley sent a
team to the Mannering Cup
Rugby League tournament,
which was held on a cold,
windy day at Ngawhatu
fields in Stoke.
After tough but successful pool games against
Tahunanui, St Paul’s and Stoke, the team played
a second Tahunanui team in the semi-final, before
meeting a very tough, determined Hokitika team in
the final. This game was even throughout with
neither team getting ascendancy until the end
when a crucial intercept from a kick by Mac
Frankish gave us possession and a roll-on.
Tristan Lawson scored off the back of that, then
we managed another try just before the final
whistle to take out the final 6-4.
The team played their hearts out and fully deserve
congratulations.
