Nau mai, haere mai,

I hope this finds you all well and getting rid of all those winter bugs!

We had a very quiet holiday period with many of our tamariki and staff away with a variety of bugs and coughs and colds :( it's great to see everyone back!

**********

During the holidays we said farewell to our lovely Choni in Manaaki as she steps back from teaching to spend more time with her family. We will definitely see Choni from time to time as she is going to remain on our relieving list.

With Choni's departure we are excited to welcome Tamara to Manaaki.

Tamara is a fully qualified ECE teacher with many years experience and we are really looking forward to having her as part of our Swannanoa whānau.    

Tamara has been settling in over the past week and has been enjoying meeting you and your tamariki.

A massive thanks to our Committee for organising a fun Quiz evening. It was a sell out and great to see everyone having a lovely social time. We really appreciate the support you give to us here at Preschool.

Our amazing Jo P is stepping off the committee as her daughter heads off to school. Jo has been an integral part of our Committee for many years and we will miss her level head, her get it done attitude and her ever present smile.

Jo we wish you and all your family the very best :)  

If anyone would like to find out more about becoming a committee member please pop by the office for a chat.
