Same But Different

Over the holidays the Marama classroom has been done up. It is now so cool. We have all new carpet, doors and the clockbay has been turned into a space for learning too. I like the new Marama better than last year but I do miss having my year nine friends at Primary.

The Marama Way

We all have things the we are expected to do just like Marama. The Marama Way is things that we kids in Marama use as a guideline to help us to have a great year in the Marama team. It is expected for us to follow it. It is to help use make good choices. This year I have to follow the Marama way to have the best year I can, the Marama way will help me to do great things in a great way. I have to be in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing always.
