Kia mau te wehi, Kaikōura Suburban. What a finale we are having for our last few weeks at Suburban!
Our 'Book Fair' being a wonderful hit both with our tamariki and all of you, our whānau. Thank you so much for your support. Along with the book fair we had an amazing array of book characters here last Friday, the photos below speak for themselves.
How amazing were our Toroa and Tītī tamariki in their Performances in 'Countdown to Christmas', we are so incredibly proud of them all- once again rising to the FORCE.
Thanks so much to Miss Macer and Miss Watt for doing such an incredible job of leading the team and co-ordinating this fabulous L4L production. Thank you, also, to their support team as well. Whaea Kataraina was our technical whizz, for sound and lighting. Colleen Taylor, hair, makeup, props and keeping things in check back stage. Whaea Rochelle for her amazing vocal expertise, front stage support and enthusiasm. Madeline Lloyd, Mrs Hills and Molly Rose for back stage performance coordination. Thank you to all of you whānau for your continuous support.
Next week we wrap up the term by going on our traditional hikoi - walk/hike up our incredible maunga/mountain. Our year six's as part of their graduation will walk to the summit of Mount Fyffe. Not only is this significant in and of itself to achieve the summit it is also a symbolic metaphor reflecting their learning journey at Suburban. Kia kaha to our year six's.
This is my last pānui/newsletter as the principal of Suburban school - I thank you all for your support, your kindness and most all for the privilege of being the principal for your tamariki.
I am in this position until the 28th of January 2023.
We all hope to see you all at the leavers assembly next Thursday - this assembly is for our whole school to celebrate the graduation of the unique learning journey that we have at Suburban.
Ka rere te tui tae noa ki te whakatā, ka hoki ano ki te kainga.
A tui will fly so far until it rests and will then return home.
