Ginny Neal - Director of Education Services (Acting) —

Our school values of Belong, Grow, Choose, and Excel have truly been at the heart of everything we’ve accomplished this year.

Kia ora koutou,

What a fantastic year 2024 has been for our Ko Taku Reo school community. As we reflect on the year in this yearbook, it’s heartening to see how much our students have achieved, how far they’ve grown, and how much joy they’ve brought to our school whānau. I would like to congratulate our students for their incredible dedication and resilience and our staff for their hard work and commitment to supporting our students throughout the year.

Our school values of Belong, Grow, Choose, and Excel have truly been at the heart of everything we’ve accomplished this year. We have created a place where our students feel they belong, supported by their peers, staff, and families. We’ve seen them grow in confidence and ability, taking on challenges and learning new skills. We celebrate their choices, reflecting their independence and taking ownership of their learning. Most importantly, we’re proud of how our students have excelled in their journeys and reached new academic and personal heights.

This year has been full of memorable moments, and none of it would have been possible without the support of our families. Thank you for your involvement, encouragement, and ongoing partnership in your child’s school journey. Your contributions have been vital in making 2024 a success.

Our digital yearbook allows us to tell the story of these achievements in a vibrant and accessible format, celebrating the big milestones and the everyday victories. I’m excited to see the stories and photos that will bring this special year to life, and I encourage everyone to take the time to explore and celebrate the successes of our students.

Ngā mihi nui
