Hi Gilberthorpe Community,

Here is our last post for the year. 

Some of you may have been wondering why we have had white plastic on some of the buildings that are due to come down. We researched and this is what we found out:

These buildings will be gone by the time we come back to school in the new year. 

We wish everyone happy holidays.

Moving into the Senior Hub

Hi everyone,
At the end of last term we finally moved into the refurbished Senior Hub. Rimu class helped move the furniture, Rata and Tawa class helped move all the books and anything else the teachers wanted taken over to the new spaces. It took a couple of days but it was worth it...have a look at some of the changes.....

It is going to be amazing to be in this new space
