Kia ora tatou, and a very warm welcome to our 2021 school year. To our 150 new families, haere mai ki te whānau o Hato Makere - we are sure that you will feel part of the SMC family in no time.

There's a lot to remember in the first week back, please see the list below and take note of any details which apply to your family.

A very special part of our start of year celebrations at SMC is our Mihi Whakatu when the school welcomes the new students and staff who will join us in 2021.

You are invited to come along and enjoy a relaxed evening with a sausage sizzle, refreshments, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and all the fun of the vertical bungy and bouncy castles.

If you haven't already, please download the SMC school app to receive alerts directly to your phone. If you already have the app, please remember to update your daughter's year group to receive the correct alerts.

In the interest of happy neighbourhood relations, we kindly ask you to abide by the road rules when parking and dropping off on Winchester and Andover Streets.

SMC SchoolTV is designed to empower you as parents with credible and sound information with realistic, practical ongoing support strategies, cutting through the sometimes overwhelming amount of information out there.

Maggie's Uniform Shop is situated at the Winchester Street entrance and is open all next week for last-minute uniform requirements, 10:00am - 4:00pm.
