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.

Lest we forget

Taranaki Debating - Round One

Taranaki Debating Competition started at the end of Term 1 2016. The Year 8 debating team of Peyton, Maz, Emma and Max F narrowly lost to Hawera Intermediate School on the last day of Term 1 to the moot that 'School days should be 2 hours longer' Toko was the affirmative in this debate.

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.
They will now advance to the 2nd round of the competition against Bell Block School with the moot 'Everyone should be a vegetarian'. I wish them well in the preparation of their debate.
