A really special day. 😀 So nice to see lots of whānau back at school, the smiling faces of kids getting stuck in and giving everything a go, and the wonderful support of our staff and Kāhu helpers. Huge thanks to Whaea Alana & Zane from Project Energise for their organisation.

As our school continues to grow, we would like to ensure we continue to connect as much as we can with all the new families that join us. We also would like to provide an opportunity for new families to meet one another when starting at our school.

Students are invited to bring up to four special people in their life - this might be grandparents, an aunty, an uncle, a parent, sibling or a family friend.

As our school year draws to a close it is important that we celebrate our learners and their successes.

As we are almost at the end of the year, all compulsory costs (activity fee, sports, optional activities etc) need to be promptly cleared.

Next week you will receive an email explaining how to access a snapshot of your child’s progress and achievement against the New Zealand Curriculum through 'Hero'. We use Hero in place of the traditional ‘written reporting’ format.

The Book Fair is here until Wednesday 2nd December - open before & after school, and all morning for Nearest & Dearest Day!

Many students & parents will likely be keen to know which class & teachers they will have for 2021.

Some of our Kāhu learners recently prepared & gifted four family-sized meals to Pūkete Neighbourhood House. They will be passed on families in need ❤

Don't forget to order your child's calendar art online at www.kidsartworks.com.

If your child will be leaving school at the end of this year, please let us know ASAP.

Saturday 12 December is our Community Service Day at Hospice Waikato and we welcome all members of our school community to join us.
