What a great Term 1 we have had, with lots of sunny days, smiling faces and a hum of learning around our kura and in our classes.
In week 8 the Year 5 and 6 campers had 2 nights and 3 days at Mi Camp in Taupo. A huge amount of work went into the planning and delivery of such a wonderful experience for our tamariki. I know that everyone had a fantastic time.
I would like to thank the parents and whanau who took time out of their busy schedules to support the experience. We can’t do this without help so thank you! A special thanks also to our Year 5 and 6 teachers and support staff who supported both groups through the experience. We are lucky to have such passionate and enthusiastic staff.
We are excited to continue this year full of fun experiences, sporting, cultural, community minded events and celebrations, along with everything in between.
Please check the list of all the upcoming events further down in this newsletter.

Enjoy a happy and safe holiday.

Introducing our new Kura Whare Tee Shirts.💚💛💙🤍
These T Shirts represent our four whare/houses and are available in our school office for sale.
All children are in a Whare group:
Ranginui, Papatuanuku, Ika Roa, Nga Whetu
And will be able to wear their t shirt on Whare Fridays instead of their school uniform top.
On these days we will have Whare competitions, that will be lead by our Year 6 Whare leaders.
The shirts are $10.00 each and are subsidised at this price.
The office has a list of your Childs Whare group and T Shirt size
School Uniform
We currently have a lot of different colored clothes creeping into the school, Yellows, Reds, Greens etc..
Our school policy states that all students must wear the correct uniform at all times, unless it is mufti day or dress up day. Please can you ensure your child leaves home in the correct uniform. Student's don't need to be wearing jackets, jerseys and layers of clothes in term 4, it is so hot! Please encourage them to replace these with a sunhat.
Our uniform is the school polo shirt and black bottoms, this is what is expected every day. Please support us in keeping up our school standards.
