Well done to all our aakonga who represented Glenbrook School at football this week. We cannot wait to hear about your results. All our students in years 4-8 are currently preparing for speeches. Good to all our brave aakonga who are competing in the competitive section. All our classes are also preparing for our Matariki concert on Thursday 19th June. A big thank you to all the whaanau who are helping our classes. What a treat it will be!

Enjoy the sunshine whaanau, Ngā mihi nui,
