Kia ora everyone,
Today, we celebrated Gumboot Day, a special day to raise awareness about mental health. It was heartwarming to see so many students and staff dressed in their gumboots, showing their support for this important cause.
Some of our senior students have been busy and accomplished great things. They recently planned and executed an impressive hangi as part of their inquiry learning. This extended learning opportunity allowed students to delve deeper into Māori culture and tikanga, celebrating the richness and significance of these traditions. By participating in the hangi, students gained a valuable understanding of the cultural practices and values associated with Māori food preparation and sharing.
We're excited to share that our school production is well underway! Our talented students have been diligently practising and can’t wait to showcase their skills on stage. Stay tuned for more details about our upcoming performance.
What a fabulous Junior Athletics Day we had! A big thank you to our Panitahi team for their hard work and to all the whānau who came to support. We're looking forward to our Senior Athletics Day on Tuesday.
Yesterday, the Ministry of Education released the new curriculum. As a staff, we will be closely examining this on our Teacher Only Day on Monday, 4th November. Please remember that school will be closed for instruction on that day.
A Note of Thanks - Safety at the gate
We want to express our sincere gratitude to all parents and caregivers for your cooperation in keeping our tamariki safe at the school gate. We kindly request that you avoid blocking the school entrance. Just a reminder that the school blue gate will be shut at pick-up time so recommend avoiding parking in the dental clinic area. Clear visibility is essential for the safety of our children.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a great week ahead!
