What To Ask Kids After School?

We often hear parents say they love our Facebook because they provide a "𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘥𝘢𝘺", because when they ask their children "How was your day?" or "What did you do today?" the responses are sometimes "It was ok/good" or "I forgot".

From Tony

It has been so nice to see our staff and students reconnect and start the term off on such a positive note, and to see the school return to a greater degree of "normal".

Message from the Board

We all know that Te Ao Mārama is a special place. It’s a place for our students to come and feel empowered to learn and grow. To achieve “their” success. This is made possible by the wonderful team of teachers and ILA’s.

Playground Update

We have exciting news! We are delighted to announce that work has begun on the installation of not just one....but two new playgrounds.

Thank you!

We would like to acknowledge and thank our parent community for keeping your kids home when they are unwell. We fully appreciate how challenging this is at times when balancing work commitments.
