Principal's Kōrero
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.
