Show DayWhat a wonderful day our Show Day was on Saturday 27th October. We could not have asked for better weather. It was heartwarming to see so many people here at school enjoying the day with us. It is always a great community day that is an integral part of our special character here at Whakamarama School.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who contributed to the success of our day - students, parents, staff, whanau, Board of Trustees, judges and our community. Your attendance, support and generosity are key factors in what makes days like these happen; and what an awesome day we had! What has 2018 held for Whakamarama School?
