Take a sneak peek into what has been happening in the coolest little school in New Zealand. Newsletter attached.

🌿 Kia ora e te whānau –

Weather Impact:

Once again, our summer has reminded us how unpredictable it can be, and unfortunately we needed to close on Tuesday. Communication services were disrupted, which made things challenging for everyone who relies on them.

What is the process for deciding the school will close:

In the first instance, I contact the Presiding Member (Andrea) and we carefully discuss the situation. I then notify whānau via Messenger and text with the decision. As we have seen, conditions can vary significantly on either side of the bay; however, if safety is at risk, the decision to close is clear.

Whānau Education Action Plan meetings next week:

Next week we will be holding our conferences to review previous goals and set new ones together. Please select a time that suits you and return the attached form by Friday.
