Welcome back to the new school year, and a very warm welcome to our new students and whānau who will be joining our community this year. We have a meet and greet event in the first week of school when parents and whānau can come and meet our kaiako (teachers) and find out more about how the hubs will be running this year.
It is really nice to finally be able to hold our meet 'n' greet event in person this year. It is a great opportunity to come and say hello to the kaiako in your child's team, be introduced to new kaiako joining our school, and find out more about how the hubs will operate this year.
Here are the key details for the event:
- It will be held on Friday 3rd February from 5pm - 6:45pm at school.
- All three hubs will have a scheduled slot for 25 mins. They will introduce themselves and the different roles within their team, and talk about the practical details of how the hub will operate on a day to day basis, including any key things you may need to know for the coming year.
- All presentations will be held in the school hall, with plenty of space to spread out.
- Tamariki are very welcome to come along and play outside. School leaders and other teachers not in presentations will be out in the school grounds supervising tamariki.
- There will be pizza and a sausage sizzle provided by school, because everyone will be hungry after a big week back at school!
- After each presentation kaiako will move outside (to let the next hub presentation begin) and will be around for parents and whānau to come and introduce themselves or catch up and say hello.
- The presentation slide deck will be made available afterwards. It will not be a recording of the presentation, but the slides will show the key information being shared.
The order of presentations will be:
* 5 - 5:25pm = Harakeke Hub
* 5:35 - 6pm = Koru Hub
* 6:10 - 6:35pm = Pōhutukawa Hub
Please note that Harakeke Hub will be the first presentation. This is different from our usual order, so please take note of that.
It is a great opportunity to connect with teachers and other parents, and have a slice of pizza and a chat. We look forward to seeing many of you there.
Ngā mihi, the Amesbury team
