He mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa - Warm greetings to all.

Congratulations to our Community Council and all our tamariki who raised $638.40 for the City Mission. Many people will benefit from your kind generosity this Christmas.

At the end of the term we will be farewelling a number of staff. Some will return in a relieving capacity but we'd like to thank them all for their many contributions to our tamariki and school. Thank you to Mrs Fraser, Whaea Andrea Katsipis, Kristika Burridge and Tanya Barnes who moves to Lincoln Primary. Today was Nicola Crow's final day and we wish her well on her maternity leave.

Please contact the office if your child is leaving at the end of the year so we can present them with a Leavers Certificate. This information also helps with class placements.
