Year 7 Band play at assembly
After a year of learning to play instruments, our Year 7 Band students were finally able to showcase just how far they've come with a small concert at assembly. For many, it is the first time learning music. We were impressed with the confidence they showed and how well they played together in front of an appreciative audience of parents, teachers and Marsden students. Bravo Year 7!

Primary Market Day
Primary students enjoyed a non-uniform, bake sale and market day last week to raise money for Ronald McDonald House. They all brought in baking and arranged some fun stalls, including face painting, hair plaiting, student-designed colouring-in pages, mystery bags and a photo booth. It was very successful, raising $775 for RMHC.

Recycling and composting
Lorraine from Zero Waste came to talk to Preschool about being kaitiaki for Papatūānuku. This includes reusing old 'rubbish' instead of sending it to the rubbish dump. Our tamariki had lots of fun playing with some toys she had made using old 'rubbish' from home. Then students had a go at toy making using some old bottle tops, cardboard, containers and fabric.
