Well done to all the Year 6 students who wrote speeches, there certainly are many passionate leaders working for their houses this year.

Thank you everyone for continuing to support us at school during this changing landscape with covid cases in our extended community. Today we are at Phase 3 of the traffic light system.

Our staff and senior tamariki (Year 4-6) are all wearing masks inside, following Health Department hygiene guidelines and ensuring all our learning spaces are well ventilated.

Teachers are also planning many opportunities outside to have mask breaks and provide learning opportunities outside to support students too.

We continue to stress the importance of keeping your child home if they are unwell.

Hub programmes and routines are being established, engaging learning experiences are being designed and tamariki are developing and strengthening new relationships. There certainly is a lovely buzz of happy children at school. A big thank you to all the staff who are working really hard to get to know children, design strong curriculum learning programmes and systems for the year. They also have been developing hybrid learning plans for when the need arises. I am very privileged to be leading such a talented group of teachers.
