Fordell School

Fordell is a small school just a short distance from Wanganui. We went there to see our granddaughter awarded student of the week. The staff at the school are amazing, working closely with students to instill excellent values in them. The kids ran the assembly, Inviting students to join in with songs, and items. Outstanding works were shared and children rewarded for good performances. Working towards the school values of compassion, courage, respect and responsibility was encouraged throughout.After singing the haka version of the National Anthem our granddaughter took us for a tour of her classroom and the school. A great classroom where student work is valued and displayed. The staff are cheerful and smile a lot with kids. They have a forest for children to play in and kids climb trees and play all sorts of games and sports. A great place to be if you're a kid.Well done Fordell, and thank you for the great start and the education and confidence my granddaughter is getting.Take it from an old retired teacher... (54 years in education)... you have my respect and admiration. Keep up the fabulous work you are doing!
