Mrs Mortimer's reflections at Grey High/Māwhera

From the principal: 2021 Week 4, Term 3 MRS SAMANTHA MORTIMER — AUG 17, 2021 Tēnā koutou katoa Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou Welcome to Term 3, week 4. I hope that you enjoy the photo from Staff Only Day as much as me! Everyone put so much effort into their costumes and their mahi during the day learning more about our future NCEA plans. FAME It was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you so much to Tealy Lynch, Marty McDonald and Harriet Wise plus all of the other teachers who worked hard behind the scenes.
