Anzac Assembly

On the 4th of May 2016 Toko School had our annual Anzac Ceremony. Rhys and I were lucky enough to get speaking parts along with a few other students. As we raised the flag all of Toko School stood for a minute of silence to remember those who had fallen at the war.  Here a few photos to show our special time remembering.

The Year 7 debating team completed again Puketapu School on Wednesday 4th May and won their debate with the moot 'Computers should replace teachers' Toko was the negative team for this debate.
