Maungatapere School

We're all very excited for Ag Day this Saturday. Our students have put in the hard mahi creating some outstanding projects to share with their whanau and friends.

Please remember that Ag Day is CASH ONLY and please DO NOT park on the grass berm on Mangakahia Road.

With the upcoming summer holidays fast approaching; the time spent on devices and communication between friends naturally increases.

Here is an article to consider and keep in the back pocket around online behaviour; particularly around nasty comments and how to navigate these.

Most of our communication is done via our school app, Facebook and email. If you haven't already, follow our Facebook page and download the app (SchoolAppsNZ)
