2024
On Thursday 14 December our Year 8 students will finish school at 12:50pm. This is to allow for the set-up of the Leavers' Dinner and for the students to get themselves ready.
On this day we will be letting the students know who their teacher is for 2024, they will spend some time that afternoon with their new teacher.
Reports - End of year reports will be coming home on Friday 15 December. The report is slightly different to last year. It will still include the PACT reports for Reading, Writing and Maths, but will now include comments to go with each and ideas for supporting learning at home.
Magazine This year we will be publishing a school magazine which will come out to every family on the last day of school.
Term 1 2024 begins on Wednesday February 7th
Stationery Following our final Board of Trustees meeting in Week 10 we will be able to confirm the arrangements for School Stationery. It is our aim to again provide stationery for every child on Day 1 of school, and keep the payment to an absolute minimum for whānau.
School Lunches The Ka Ora, Ka Ako | Healthy School Lunches programme has been guaranteed to continue until the end of 2024 at this stage. We will be continuing with our current lunch supplier, Libelle, in 2024.
