Cornerstone’s Primary Prize Giving focused on the school’s motto of “Learn, Serve and Grow”. Awards were given out in these three categories for each class.
The presentation began with Deputy Principal Mr Rose calling on his Year 6 son Ashton, and another boy Ben to pray. Principal Mr Mitchell then talked about Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences, and how God made us all wonderfully different.
There were songs by the well trained Primary Choir, the adorable Aroha team, energetic Manahau, and the thunderous Tumanako team.
Cornerstone’s first ‘live streamed’ Prize Giving was a strong success. A team of eight secondary students manned the various cameras, sound gear, video gear, and even actively mixed the live stream soundtrack separately.
