Kia ora koutou katoa

Ngā mihi nui kia koutou ~ Thank you to all our whānau, staff, BOT members, and representatives from Taumutu Education Committee who came to our annual Whānau Hui. As always we appreciate the valuable feedback as we continue to access and provide the best possible teaching and learning opportunities for our West Melton learners.

Next week, our Kapa Haka group commences practice for the year with our tutor from Kapahikitia Trust, Latoya Leef-Graham. Last year Whaea Latoya and the group composed our school song, Pepeha o Papatahora, and our new haka. We are looking forward to what this new year brings.
