Year 6 Exhibition – Monday/Tuesday 14-15 May

This year, the Year 6 students performed their PYP Exhibition with the Theme of 'Sharing the Planet'. They were exploring the 'Risks, Challenges and Opportunities' that people experience throughout the world. For the past six weeks, students have been researching and presenting their findings about racism, disabilities, religions and many other topics. The Year 6 students began their Presentation in our new Arts Room and commenced the Exhibition with a short play they'd written focusing on poverty, and a role play of the true story titled 'Running Shoes'. The students then did an excellent statistical overview of their class called 'If our Class was the World' which amazed the audience. The Introduction finished with a rousing performance by the students of 'We are the World' the famous Michael Jackson song.

Congratulations to our Soccer Players who just finished the Coca Cola League Competition. At last Friday's Assembly each player was presented with a special commemorative cup contributed by the parents that made the students feel very special. It was a great season and we were very proud to host 4 Teams solely from ACG. Special thanks to our Coaches – Mr Dhani, Mr Jaka, Mr Thomas, Mr Bill and Mrs Clare with Ms Julia also assisting the teams.

We're very proud of all the students who played during the 10 weeks competition and thank parents for their support every Saturday ensuring students were at the games on time and with the correct playing equipment. We're also very delighted that quite a few of our ACG girls played – well done!

On Monday 16 April, a gala dinner was held in honour of the visit to Indonesia by The Rt. Hon John Key - Prime Minister of NZ. Mr Key and the Trade Minister Mr Tim Groser lead a 26 member business delegation to Jakarta.
 
ACG was well represented in this delegation by Mr Danny Chan, Deputy Chairman. A key focus for the visit was education and expanding the number of Indonesians studying in NZ from the present 600. Since there are over 70,000 Indonesians studying abroad, the new Free Trade Agreement between New Zealand and Indonesia presents opportunities for New Zealand.
