It has been a fantastic couple of weeks. We have had School and Kahui Athletics and this week we saw our Year 3-8 students engaging in Beach Education in New Plymouth. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of the whanau that were able to support these events. Things are beginning to ramp up as we approach our end of year events. Preparations for our annual Year 8 Dinner Dance are in full swing. If you have received an invite, please RSVP as soon as you can so we can ensure adequate catering. A reminder that our lovely new driveway is for vehicles and not for walking down. Please use the pathway. Lets keep our tamariki and whanau safe! Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for your continued support.

First Day Back 2023 Monday 30 January

We love our new way of strengthening our home-school partnership.

We start this off with a "Learning Transition Partnership Day" which will be Monday 30 January. On this day we will be having 15 minute slots with each student and family in their homeroom class.

This time slot is about informing the 2023 teacher of anything they will need to know about your child, socially, wellbeing, learning difficulties, or special talents and skills they may have. We will learn about your child's and family's strengths and ideas you may have to contribut to learning opportunities at axhool.

Our teachers will be focussed on each family, listening and planning for a successful 2023. We encourage all families to attend, even if you or your child knows their 2023 teacher. Our feedback has highlighted that this is a fantastic opportunity to have a positive transition into our new school year. We look forward to seeing you.

Further information on how to book will be available next week.
