Wonderful news... our Playscape is almost finished! We anticipate completion within the next two weeks. I've included some photos below so you can see the progress so far.
We had a high return of parent surveys at the end of last year. Congratulations to Mel who won the $100 Pak n Save voucher. The results from the survey are shown below. We are very proud of the survey. Your feedback has helped us to develop our strategic and annual plan for 2024.
We would love to see you all at our Meet the Teacher evening on Wednesday 7 February between 5pm and 6pm. Come along to meet your child's teacher, take part in some fun activities and grab a free sausage sizzle!
A reminder that school is OPEN on Monday and then closed on Tuesday for Waitangi Day. As usual, if your child is absent on Monday, please let the office know.
Have a lovely weekend!
Nga mihi,
Steve
