Who are we? #4

Bayfield School

On Auckland 2-12 Clifton road, Herne Bay, Bayfield is rocking it with approximately 400 kids working to their best abilities. Bayfield is the most creative and fun school were all of us learning every day. We don’t wear uniforms and we call our fantastic, kind teachers by their first name. Were a happy, environmental, friendly school Bayfield has it all.

Go Rutherford!! That’s right we have our own houses named after some of the famous new Zealanders shared with the 5 year olds and over, Such as Rutherford, Shepard, Hillary and Kupe. We also have colours for our houses as well green for Rutherford white for Hillary blue for Shepard and lucky last, red for Kupe. When we are working hard and being polite we get house points for our houses and when sports events are on we also get them.

Bayfield School has special events each year like music on the field, the art festival, the production, swimming sports and business day. Music on the field is all about having fun doing all these spectacular things for example The bouncy castle, mini Ferris wheel listening to bands or  singers coming to our school just like when Jamie mc dell came to Bayfield and sang. Business day is when we make money for the year sixes to go to Rainbows end selling scrumptious sweet treats.

Year zero to year two, the juniors has their own fun playground to play on at their breaks, (morning tea and lunch). Also year three to six (middle school and senior) has their own play ground with an emerald fresh field where we play some of our sports on like rugby. We have a place called the mini beast that is a place surrounded by lush trees and plants. We play in there by making huts and collecting things. Finally the courts we have one basketball court outside, one in the hall and two net ball courts near the juniors.

Luck last our lovely music teacher, Mary she runs the APPA choir, girls kappa haka and ukulele festival. We also have our wonderful library monitor and basketball coach, Donna. You can’t forget our principal, Sheryl Fletcher she is one of the most amazing principals. Last of all deb and Linda our reception ladies that are always there for us when we are hurt or injured and helps in the office.
