Welcome to East Taieri School for the start of the 2019 school year. A special welcome to new families. I hope that you have enjoyed happy times with family and friends over the holidays and our students are refreshed and keen to start the new year.

We are delighted to welcome new staff members to our teaching team this year - Eve McSoriley to Room 5, teaching Years 2/3 and Helen Johnston to Room 13, teaching a New Entrant class. Welcome also to Coral Butler who will be our Reading Recovery teacher for the year.
