School Picnic, A Chilly Night at the Beach, Chinese New Year Celebrations and a Rugby Game

Meggie is going on a school service trip to Fiji in July and the girls are responsible to raise money to buy books, computers and other equipment to take to donate to the school. This term's fundraising event was hosting the Primary School Picnic by providing food and beverages. Rose and I did most of the organising but  the girls did all the hard work on the day cooking burgers and sausages and dishing out gelato. It turned out to be a lovely day weather-wise and the picnic was quite a success.

Picnic on the beach with Fiona, James and Alex. It got a little chilly.

But it was still a beautiful night!

Josie was stunning in the Chinese New Year parade!!

Katie and friends at the Sevens - a week of rugby games where everyone dresses up.

Back to School and Castlepoint

February means back to school - not sure why I don't have a picture of Meggie and Josie.

Back to school means time to start organising for the gala - I'm convening the "Designer Clothing" stall again.

Part of my amazing team - Kate, Pip, Danielle and Fiona

Meggie receiving her Colours Bar at the Scholars Assembly for gaining so many Excellence credits in NCEA Level 2. So proud of her!!

Meeting Norah

The whole family got to come this time - and Summer's mom came from Texas.

Quinn captivated the girls as usual.

And it was great to finally meet Pirum!

And to cap off January Ellie gave Chloe a bath in the DIY dog wash at Animates.
