Welcome back to the 2016 school year.

Welcome back to the 2016 school year. We certainly have a fun-filled year planned with a variety of learning experiences linking with our children, their whanau and the Marlborough community. We are all so looking forward to our first inquiry unit based on The Arts – Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Art. The Marlborough community is perfect for this. If you have any ideas in the way of ‘experts’ to support our learning we would love to know.

Below are a couple of photos of some of the children at Rapaura School.
