150th Celebration Te Koromiko Swannanoa School 6 April 2023
It's finally happening! After two previous postponements...
Te Koromiko Swannanoa School is celebrating our 150th!
10:30am Thursday, 6 April 2023.
Although technically our '152nd', we were all keen to have a special event to commemorate the occasion as the last few years with COVID restrictions meant we missed many chances to gather as a community. If you have any connection to our wonderful school - whether currently or from many years ago, as staff, student, family, volunteer or in ANY WAY - we'd love to see you.
The main focus is to provide a free, fun and relaxed atmosphere, hear some wonderful stories from previous times, see all the old photos and offer the opportunity to tour the school to see what has changed over the years.
Please RSVP so we can adequately plan for catering. Register either by following this link forms.gle... visiting the school website www.swannanoa.school.nz..., or scanning the QR code attached.
On behalf of the 150th Committee, we look forward to bringing you a wonderful occasion and hope to see you all there!

Presiding Member

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.4% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.5% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
32.4% Yes!
-
67.6% No thank you.

‘Rangiora Bells’ is seeking musicians to join the handbell choir. We are a friendly group of handbell ringers who enjoy making music and entertaining at community groups.
