We are... Paterson Class!

 Kia ora world!


This year we've had a bunch of awesome Year 4 students step up from the junior school to become part of our amazing class. We've kept ALL the original Tuffery Class students from 2020 (with the exception of our Year 6's). We've also had a couple of new additions with Akram joining from Pule Class, Martha joining from Wesley Primary and Marcus who is new to New Zealand! 


We had the option to remain as Tuffery Class, but we chose to come up with a new class name to celebrate all our wonderful new additions. We are now known as Paterson Class, named after NZ artist Reuben Paterson!  Paterson’s artworks are influenced by his Māori and Scottish ancestry. He is most famous for his large-scale glitter paintings and draws his inspiration from koru and kowhaiwhai designs combined with optical illusion art.
