Board of Trustees News
Thursday Tash Allerby, Ray Smillie and Paul Edwards together with myself attended a property meeting with the MoE Property Team , Project Manager and Architects. The team discussed many projects which are being developed.
The main project is planning for an accommodating our ever increasing roll. Over the non-contact time, our water leak will be remedied, and our hall will be upgraded.
We are moving Mrs Michalea Krook and Mrs Stephanie Boyd's classes into the hall for the remainder of the year as we need to spread ourJunior classes out to accommodate our ever increasing role. Mrs Mel Zimmerman's class will move to Room 1 and Mrs Libby O'Connor will move into Room 2. These classes will have the shared space between the two classes and will still collaborate.
Mr Adams and Mrs Smith will move into the bigger space of Moa iti and we will make a plan for that space to be utilized for the benefit of all the New Entrants.
Plans are nearly finalised for the new six classes which are going to be built after the demolition of the older four classes which were known as C Block - ( Hinuera Stone ) and the back two classes (old rms 12 & 13. The toilet block will remain.
We are gaining a cover (archgola) type cover over the space by the carpark/hall entrance, which will be fabulous in the wet weather.
Puke Haupapa will get the verandah covered.
The toilets opposite Moa iti are being upgraded also.
Thank you all for your patience - our school is going to look tino flash indeed.

New Zealand Police
NZ Police recently launched a new non emergency number, 105. We’ve done this to make it easier to get hold of us in the event of non-urgent situations or ‘Things which have Already Happened’, which don’t require Police assistance immediately.
You can call us on 105 for all non emergencies, or you can go online at 105.police.govt.nz to report things like:
- Lost property
- Theft for a public place or car
- Intentional property damage
- Or to get an update or add info to a previous report
In the event of an emergency, always call 111 - Things that are Happening Now.
