Kia Ora Koutou

It was wonderful to see such a fantastic turnout for our cross-country run last Thursday. A special mention goes out to all the parents and Whanau who joined their children for a run. It's heartening to see families participating together in such a fun and healthy activity.

Over the past week, we've been amazed by the incredible school speeches delivered by our students. Their confidence, creativity, and passion have been inspiring. Yesterday, we were filled with immense pride as we watched our Kapa Haka group take the stage. Their performance was truly outstanding, and I'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Whaea Donna, Whaea Mel, and Matua Kareena and anyone else that helped for their tireless efforts in guiding and supporting our tamariki.

As we welcome the spring season, we can look forward to longer afternoons and the beauty of blooming flowers. Let's embrace the warmth and vibrancy that this time of year brings.

Kia ora whānau, Next week, week 9 is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori week. To celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori week at school we are going to have our Kapa haka roopu/groups perform some of their waiata they have been learning with Matua Kingi. Nau mai, haere mai.

You are welcome to come along and see the tamariki perform. This will be on Wednesday 18th September at 12.15pm in Te Moa our school hall.

On Thursday our Kapa Haka performing Roopu had the opportunity to represent our kura and their whanau at Te Tatarakihi 2024. It was at Owae Marae where we got to perform with lots of other hardworking amazing school groups. It was a beautiful learning opportunity for our tamariki to be able to perform in front of a large audience and their whanau. Then we also got to appreciate and learn from other tamariki their age and younger. A huge thank you to all of those who helped our tamariki in their journey.

Parentlink are looking for more parents/caregivers to join the Parentlink Committee. We have lots of big ideas on how to fundraise for our school, projects and subsidise student trips. The only way in which we can achieve these is through volunteers. We have a small number of parents who generously give their time, however we are seeking to grow this group so we can continue to increase our capacity and to share the load. If your interested, please feel free to contact Brooke on 0276367025.

Please like our IPS ParentLink page to keep updated with fundraising events and meetings.

This is a fabulous group of parents supporting our school.

First use of our new Gazebo. Money raised from the fundraisers in the past few months has gone towards getting this and looks great with the schools name on it. This will be used for school events and is a great addition to the school.

This is what parent link is all about. If you are interested in getting behind this committee and helping out when you can it definitely pays off and can be a bit of fun also.

We have the kids disco coming up in a few weeks we would love any parents that can help on the night to let us know. You don’t have to spend all night helping I’m sure you can get on the dance floor with your kids

Permission for Touch 2024 came home this week. Please call in to the office if your child is interested and hasn’t come home with a notice.

Looking for keen kids who are able to turn up every week.

Over the next two weeks we are participating it the NZ Fresh Air Challenge.

Each day our whānau leaders will go around the classes and record how they came to and from school. The idea is have as many children as we can arrive at school safely and having biked, walked, or scooted to school.

While the car is a must for some who live a bit further away, children can always be dropped off down the street so they may walk a portion of the way to participate in the challenge.

Enjoy the spring fresh air too whānau!!
