Principal's Post - week 6, Term 1.
Jenny Washington - March 17, 2025
Our tamariki and kaiako have well established classroom routines and the learning has been initially focused on connecting and developing a sense of belonging. We have two staff members working on the planning and organisation of our Matariki production which will be featuring at the end of Term 2.
The Board are starting their consultation process for our new Strategic Plan as well as seeking feedback about swimming lessons and camps in the future. We value whānau feedback and look forward to sharing a summary of your input.
