Week 2, Term 3

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

Thank you for taking time out of your day to meet online with teachers on Thursday during the Parent Teacher Conferences. It is neat to be able to share students' achievements and work together to help them overcome challenges. 

We were impressed with the level of skill showcased at the Middle School Talent Show run by the Arts Council last week. What was also special was the huge number of students who auditioned to be in the show. It demonstrates the willingness of many of our young people to take risks and put themselves out there. We hope that this enthusiasm continues as they progress through their teenage years.
