First Day of School

The girls had a great start to the year! Meggie entered Year 9, Katie Year 7, Josie Year 5 and Ellie Year 3 at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School. Josie was a little nervous the first day but she settled in quickly and now, a month later, it's like she has been there forever. The girls all have sweet friends and great teachers and we are really blessed they have the opportunity to be at such a marvelous school. Meggie was elected her class's Form Captain and Katie was named Deputy Form Captain for her class. Josie and Ellie don't have quite as many leadership opportunities in the Primary School but they are participating actively in all their class activities.

Ready to go!

Ellie and Josie had EOTC week their second week of school. EOTC stands for Education Outside the Classroom and they got to do some really fun things. I went with Josie's class on the day they did water safety and rollerblading and I went with Ellie's class to a local shop called "After Shock" where we learned all about earthquake safety. I got some cute pictures of Josie's group.
