Kia ora e te whānau, A very Happy New Year to you all. Welcome back to school on Monday 3rd February. I hope that you all enjoyed the holidays and are looking forward to the year ahead.

This newsletter is to welcome you back and provide start of year information to ensure we have a smooth start to the year. The next newsletter will be at the end of week 2 on Friday 14th February.

I look forward to your continued support throughout 2025 and hope that we can all look forward to a very happy and collaborative year working together.
