VLN Primary School - February Update

Kia ora koutou katoa

Naumai, haere mai ki te Kura Tuatahi - Akonga Aka Mariko. Welcome to the VLN Primary School

Our goal is to:

Connect Schools for Enhanced Learning Outcomes

In this newsletter we update you on: 

The growth of our Rural & Remote Schools Project and invite other small schools to join in. Schools are meeting on Tuesday 1st March this week, so don't miss out & get along;

What our ALLiS (Asian Languages) Team have been doing and share our project planning and resources from AFS. 

We profile another great online collaborative programme for students @kidsedchatnz. This is all set up & really easy to participate in with your children - give it a go.

Finally we are looking for a champion/s who will join our Governance Group and help lead us through to the next level. If you know or are someone who has strong business & community networks and knowledge, and who is willing to work hard to make a difference for our children then we need you!
