Mānawatia a Matariki — Happy Māori New Year
from us all at Stanley Avenue School
From the Principal's desk....
Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed lunch together on this beautiful Winters day. It warms our hearts to see our school community come together like this and celebrate our tamariki, as they showcase their learnings about Matariki. We could not have had such a yummy kai without the help of our sponsors... Inghams Waitoa, Tatua, New Light Minimart and Takeaways, The Duck and Cover, Best Meats Te Aroha and a huge thank you to our wonderful staff.
Ka Pai Stanley Avenue School!

Purchase your Own SAS Sports Shirt!
We have gone live on DirectGroup Uniforms with our Sports Shirts that you are able to purchase. We feel moving forward this is a great option and will save a lot of time issuing and collecting sports shirts. At this time we still have our other sports shirts for anyone that is playing and has not purchased their own yet. Check them out at:
https://dgstore.co.nz/collections/stanley-avenue-school
You can purchase the sport shirts and they arrive directly to your address and they even have Afterpay so that it makes it possible to budget. We are looking forward to seeing these appearing on our sports fields.
