The end of Term 1 is fast approaching. Thank you for the wonderful support we have received from you all over the term.  In particular to all the coaches and managers of our many touch teams, whānau and friends attending our open session on 27 March and the parent helpers who supported our talented teaching team on camp this year: Sharmella, Scott, Kazumi, Bart, Carl, Euan, David, Mel, Sheldon, Hannah, Jess, Kelly, Leah, Anton, John, Ross and Josh.  We have valued your participation and engagement with our school community as we walk alongside our learners to share in their education.

Updated attendance information:

• Currently our Term 1 attendance rate sits at 79%.  This is an improvement from last year at 71%. 

Thank you to the whānau who have worked with us to improve these figures.  We look forward to seeing a continued improvement over the next three terms.
