Mr Bremer, our Principal, around the school. By Brooke and Ellie


Our job was to investigate some of what Mr Bremer does. We saw him welcome our guest speaker, Henare O'Keefe, at Friday 4th May's assembly. Mr O'Keefe talked about how he was the official ambassador of LOVE! He told us to be nice to everyone and to read books. Mr Bremer asked him to help give out Principal's awards. Here they are in action!
