It is absolutely fabulous to have all our tamariki back and we welcome our new whanau to our kura.

We are excited to be back at school and focusing on our conceptual theme for the year "Mana Motuhake " New beginnings with challenges and opportunities.

Our whanau teams are reporting early successes of our new model this year already, with positive comments and actions from both children and adults.

We are doing our best to work within the guidelines of Red Alert Level and we really appreciate the support from all whanau and caregivers.

We have developed a Response Plan, should IPS have a positive case identified. This will be share with you all next week.

Thank you again for all being gracious and kind as we navigate this world we are in.
