Kia ora e te Whānau, Nau mai haere mai! Welcome back to the 2020 school year.

We warmly invite you to the upcoming student conferences. These are an opportunity for students and their family/whanau to meet teachers and establish positive learning relationships for the coming year.

We are excited to be underway shortly with our term 1 and 2 context for learning.

Place based education (PBE) immerses students in local heritage, cultures, landscapes, opportunities and experiences, using these as a foundation for the study of language, arts, mathematics, social studies, science and other subjects across the curriculum.

Can you spare an hour or two to help us re-label books in our library next week.

Please see the Term 1 newsletter attached of upcoming, learning, events, news and activity for Harakeke and Kōwhai.

Working to make our Kōwhai Treaty!

While playing, children work through conflicts with objects, other children, and adults. Play provides an outlet for curiosity, information about the physical world, a safe way to deal with anxiety and social relationships. In the long run, play serves children's inner needs, hopes, and aspirations. Magda Gerber

We are all concerned for the safety of our children at the school gate. Please do your bit to keep our children safe.
