Welcome to Jairus Robb who joined the Learning Support Team towards the end of Term 3.

The development of our new classroom block is nearing completion and we hope to be moving into this space early to mid November. We will provide you all with an update once moving dates have been confirmed.

Our school choir will be performing at the Christchurch Schools Music Festival Tuesday 5 November, 2019. This year the festival returns to the Christchurch Town Hall after an absence of eight years. Thank you to Ashleigh Macdonald for the work she has done with our school choir this year. We wish all choir members well for their performance.

The 2019 school year is rapidly drawing to a close. We will celebrate the achievement of our Year 6 children at our Final Assembly and Graduation Ceremony on Thursday 5th December, 2019. 

All parents and members of the wider community are invited to attend this event.

Our school will also be involved in the Tōtaranui Kāhui Ako Cultural Festival which will be held at Casebrook Intermediate on Thursday 28 November from 3.00pm to 6.30pm.   We'd love you to join us and celebrate our Kāhui Ako with kapa haka, cultural performances, kai and games.  Your child does not need to be a member of our hapa haka - this event is for everyone!
