For Our Friends in France...

At this very challenging time for so much of the world we thought that it would be nice to acknowledge some of our friends around the world.

One group of our friends are from Brindas School in France, we've even had the teacher from the school come to the other side of the world and visit us in New Zealand!

They gifted us something incredibly important - the flag of France and we've always had it displayed with pride on the wall of the classroom. 

It celebrates our special bond with a classroom on the other side of the world that we are freinds with.

We wish them all the best in this time when there are challenges and things might be difficult and different.

Welcome Back to School for 2018 - from France!

Our very good friends from CM2 in Brindas School wanted to do something special to welcome their friends from the Southern Hemisphere, so they created a Star Wars Themed Video mentioning our School, Worser Bay Primary School and Woodend School from Australia.  You can click on the link to their amazing video here. 

Pousson Slideshow 2018

 The mascot pictured in this Slideshow is Pousson which was a gift for us from our dear friends from CM2 Brindas School in France.   Mia, Ava, Jayden and Ihaka took the mascot and carried it around Auroa Primary School, the brief was to take photographs in a series of interesting locations.

Auroa Memorial - CM2 Brindas, France

Our friends from CM2 in Brindas, France have produced the most amazing collaboration.  We've been in contact with them for several years now and they asked last year for some footage from our local Soliders Monument which is outside our school.   They have researched the local soldiers from our school and found where they are buried in France... it really is the most amazing collaboration with a video they have produced linking our two schools... 

Our Friends from France are Back at School!

We're very lucky to Auroa Primary School to friends and contacts from all over the world and over the last few years we have developed a special relationship with the students and teachers of CM2 School in Brindas in France, exchanging gifts and information, stories and work. They have just returned to school for the 2017-8 School year and we look forward to hearing from them and working with them again.
