Congratulations to the following children who received certificates at last Friday's assembly led by Pōhutukawa (Rm3) & Kahikatea (Rm4)

These students were noticed by staff, parents or students as displaying our school Values in specific situations.

Kaitiaki Rōpū was very fortunate this week to receive a donation of 4 steel bird feeders from Oak & Owl! The bird feeders were donated by Kaitiaki Rōpū member Mia Glass and her family who own Oak & Owl.

The Board of Trustees has approved a Curriculum/Teacher Only Day to be taken on Monday 17 March. Teachers will be involved in Professional Development around the Refreshed Maths Curriculum.

Last Monday, our Year 6 students spent the day at Tirohanga, taking part in team challenges, outdoor activities, and a bush walk. Read their recounts to hear about their experiences.

We have received the plan for the new carpark layout from Traffic Management & Control Ltd Dunedin. The plan will be considered by the Board at next week's meeting. It is the Board's priority to get the carpark issue resolved as soon as possible.

If students have a lunchtime commitment such as Kaitiaki Rōpū, choir, touch practice, etc, that clashes with their Pod biking day, they will be able to organise with their teacher an alternative day for biking.(See roster below)
