The Amazing School Vision 

At Wairakei School we have 5 vision characteristics we work hard, we think, we care, we communicate effectively and we make meaningful connections.We care is just caring nothing less nothing more. We care because we value.We work hard means we value self-management and perseverance. Self-management means to do things by your self. We think means to be creative and inquisitive about your work and choices.We Communicate effectively means we value meaningful interactions. And it also means using your words not using your.-We make meaningful connection means we value transferring and applying our learning.

How we do sport in Wairakei school

We have all types of sport hockey, soccer, rugby and netball, we go there every week on a the bus and go to Hagley to play our sport. The team we battled were hillveiw, Shirley, St. Peter's, and the a team for soccer battled was our school a team and b team it was a friendly match. 

Our school train every Tuesday and we allways play on Thursday, but it has been raining recently so we have been talking about strategies and some of the rules. Hockey won 7-1, soccer lost 3-0 netball lost 5-0 and rugby won 43-21. 

The netball team warms up by playing a game called windows what you do is go in a circle and someone goes in the circle and there are spaces and someone runs around the circle and gets the ball passed to them.  This keeps going on until everyone has had a turn.

These are the sports we play at Wairakei school we also do play of the day or POD.
