Simon Moriarty —

It is weeks like this that remind me of what a supportive and positive hapori we have here at Te Ahi Kaikōmako Rolleston School. We can say no more than THANK YOU for your willingness to role model our E Tū Tāngata mindset to your children, our amazing students.

Firstly, thank you to everybody who was able to attend last weeks Making Connections Meetings. Our staff were thankful for the information you shared about your own children's strengths, talents, and next steps at the Making Connections Meetings as it highlighted - You Have Value. We really look forward to next Tuesday's Community Picnic. Thank you to our PTA for suppling additional food options and ice blocks for all the children that attended - We Succeed Together.

Our thoughts and best wishes go out to those who are going through difficult times due to the impact of the Port Hills Fires.  We continue to keep everyone in our thoughts during this time. A special mention to fellow schools and their communities who face additional challenges and to our amazing first responders for the work selfless work they continue to do - Others Matter

Please ensure that read the article regarding the finalised work that has been completed regarding the Community Aspirations for our students. A massive thank you to everybody who provided feedback last year.
