This week brings a close to the 3rd term and once again there have been many wonderful events and opportunities for our learners. I’d like to take this moment to thank our parents/whānau for their support this term, particularly the various sports coaches and managers.

Our Market Day last week was a huge success with most of the stalls selling out! Over $1,800 profit was made to go towards the Kāhu camp in Term 4. A big thank you to all our families who supported the event by coming along or sending money with their child.

Our team is growing! On Monday we officially welcomed 5 new team members with a special Pōwhiri. We have been so fortunate this year to have been able to sustain low teacher:student ratios and these new appointments mean we are able to keep this, despite the ongoing growth. As a new school this is sometimes hard to plan for, but we are appreciative of the support from the Ministry of Education and the strong relationship we have with them. Our staffing levels for 2020 will also ensure we are able to start with low class sizes.

This week we had our Buddy Bench installed outside Te Aroha. This was a result of a Kindness Week idea and the intention is children can sit here if they are feeling lonely or sad and need a Buddy 🙂

Our school recently competed in the Fairfield Cluster Winter Sports Tournament at Southwell School. They bravely competed against much larger schools in Football, Netball, Rippa Rugby & Hockey. Thank you to our whānau and staff who supported them on the day.

Recently we had a visit from Police Dog Handler, Kieran, and his dog Vader. The children loved learning about all the amazing things Police dogs can do & had plenty of of questions for Kieran!
