Tumuaki Kōrero
Kia ora whānau,
Congratulations to our learners who have made a very successful transition from online learning back to school.
“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we plan our end of year celebrations and events. This year many of these will be in house and without audiences as we are unable to invite parents and whānau. We are expecting some more updates from the Ministry of Education. Once we have received these we will be back in touch
Ngā mihi nui,
Wendy

By choosing to TaxGift your tax credit when you next donate via myKindo, you will be supporting us even further at absolutely no cost to you. It’s the easiest gift you’ll ever give us: simply TaxGift us your donation tax credits on your gifts to us from this year forward. It takes less than a minute to opt in, then the friendly folks at TaxGift and myKindo will work together to make it happen.
Haven’t claimed donation tax credits before? Gift them to us! If you haven’t claimed your donation tax credits on your gifts to us in the last four years, you can donate them to us with a simple tick of the historic tax credits box in the TaxGift form.
Pupuke Taniwha - Petition
LET'S PROTECT OUR ROTO - LAKE PUPUKE
Pupuke Taniwha (Guardians of Lake Pupuke) are an environmental action group originating from Forrest Hill Primary School. Worried about the health of the lake, they have started a petition to protect it by having it legally included in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.
Petition Reason:
- Greater recognition of the significance of the lake and land, including the historic and cultural significance for mana whenua.
- Increased protection for the ecology and natural features, and sustaining of the lake's life-supporting capacity.

Guitar Lessons - Dave Gatman
Hi there! I have taught Guitar to kids in schools for over 15 years. I love working with kids and inspiring the next generation of musicians. I like to make my lessons as positive and fun as possible, teaching a range of songs from traditional folk/blues to the current pop and rock tunes.
I've played the guitar in a large variety of settings, and I'm currently in a covers band playing at weddings, bars and parties.
Lessons are in groups of up to 4 at a time, and cost $20.00 plus gst, for half an hour.
Individual lessons are offered if I feel like the student will benefit from them, and if I have space. These cost $35.00 plus GST per half hour.
Lessons are on Wednesday mornings at TNIS as well.
Feel free to contact me - dave.gatman@musiqhub.co.nz. Or text/call on 021 2221456.
Thanks,
Dave
