Kia Ora Koutou Whanau of Tīeke Kāhui. As I write the last newsletter for Term 1, I want to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your hard work, dedication and resilience over the past 10 weeks.

Kia ora whānau, I can’t believe this is my first contribution to the school newsletter for 2022, but in the busyness of everyday pressures coupled with the extras that COVID/Omicron brings I’ve not made time to write any articles until now. I’ll try harder next term.

Kia Ora, Talofa, Malo E Lelei, Kia Orana, Kamusta, Hei
