Wā Ngākau (Assembly)

Our first whole school Assembly will be held in the gym on Friday 14th February at 9am. Parents and whānau are more than welcome to stay for this. Our assemblies are called Wā Ngākau, which literally means heart time, but in our context is about celebrating the things that make up the heart of our school.

We strongly encourage our families to start a payment plan (either weekly, fortnightly, or monthly) if this will assist with covering costs throughout the year.
