To celebrate The Arts learning that has happened at our kura/school over and in lieu of formalised interviews for Term 1, we will be having a family/whānau open day on 8th April 2024 from 11.30am onwards. You will be able to join your child/rens' class to join in some fun learning, and to see their work from the term. We then invite you to stay for lunch and watch our House Sing Off in the afternoon. We look forward to seeing you there! 

Maternity Leave

My last day will be Thursday 28th March I will be returning to school at the beginning of Term 3. During my absence Mrs Robyn Cooper will be our Acting Principal. My husband, daughter and I would like to thank everyone for the well wishes during our pregnancy, we are very excited to welcome another wee girl to our whānau.

Easter Break 

Just in case you aren't aware, Easter Tuesday is a school holiday and schools in New Zealand are closed. The Tuesday following Easter Monday is a school holiday (but not a statutory holiday), meaning schools must not be open. https://www.education.govt.nz/school/school-terms-and-holiday-dates/more-information-about-setting-term-dates/?fbclid=IwAR3EWTPDhePLnIb6bX9ZBzAedqFppEX79At0Cg1s3GYJSX6el8WV4qK_IFo#easter
