Kia ora koutou katoa. Firstly, thank you all for your support over what has been a very interesting first half of the year. Term 2 has gone really smoothly and I have been really impressed with the speed that students settled back into the routine of the school.

We are taking enrolments for 2022. Please encourage friends and family to enrol their in-zone, or out-of zone-son or daughter, to do so as soon as possible. Please fill out the online form on our website. The link is below.
