Newsletter Week 6, Term 3, 2020

Kia ora e te whānau,

It is very hard to believe that we are in Week 6 of Term 3! This year seems to be flying by at an enormous pace. There has been quite a bit of change and disruption over the course of the year, but our amazingly resilient and keen learners are still making the most of every opportunity. Even though many of our inter-school competitions and other opportunities have had to be postponed or cancelled - we are making the most of the events we are able to continue on with. 

Thank you to all of our community for your continued flexibility and understanding through this time. We are so looking forward to hosting community events again at school and being able to gather together as a whānau.

PTG Meeting - Tuesday,1 September

BOT Meeting - Thursday, 10 September
