Principal's Message

Kia ora e te whānau

There will be some very tired children and parents coming home from school today following our Year 3 sleepover! Thanks so much to all our parent helpers - this event would not be possible without you! Huge thanks to Erin and the Year 3 team for running this super fun event - the children have been so excited but also so well behaved throughout. More information and photos will be coming in the next newsletter about this.

Next week we have a Fiafia night coming up on Thursday night. Our Year 5 and 6 Pasifika group will perform and this will be followed by dinner together. This event will be held in the hall and will begin at 5.30pm. We are excited to welcome the families of our performers and other Pasifika whānau within our community to celebrate together. If you haven't filled in the online form yet, please do so asap. Fa'afetai.

Unfortunately with everything going on we will not have time to have a Book Parade this year. 😢 We know this is a highlight for many and it will return in 2024! Thanks for your understanding on this.
