Whanaungatanga

Whanaungatanga embraces whakapapa and focuses upon relationships. Individuals expect to be supported by their relatives near and distant, but the collective group also expects the support and help of its individuals. This is a fundamental principle.

The whanaungatanga principle reaches beyond actual whakapapa relationships and includes relationships to non-kin persons who became like kin through shared experiences, like in our classrooms.

Book Fair Week

The book fair is in the school library next to room 12. Whanau are welcome to come visit and purchase books. The library is open Monday - Thursday 8:30am - 3:30pm and Friday before school only.

All sales made earn new books for the school library so please come and support the fair.

Allergies

In Mahuta, we have a number of children with allergies and some can be severe. We had a discussion on Friday about these and that we should be considerate of others.
