What a way to start the day with Matua Joe organising dodgeball to warm up on a cold morning during whanau time.

LOVE your work JRao!
How lucky we are to have the epic Rao Joseph at out kura! I hear about all these assemblies in detail from both my kids every time. So inspirational and uplifting.
Well done J Rao Keep up the great work Every day we are inspired by our teachers and our kura We are SO blessed to have RAS as our base for learning Thank you to all the teachers for their hard work.
