Kia ora e ngā whānau, I’m writing this on Wednesday morning and it feels really alive today at Te Rā. From midday, the teachers will be meeting with parents in the partnership hui. Thanks to those of you who have already booked - this is a big part of how the teachers are able to connect and communicate with you as parents.

The upcoming Whānau Crafting Workshops are very close to being announced

Hard to believe we are half way through term 3 already and that despite the cold weather the daffodils are poking through and the blossoms are out.

We are looking for a new playgroup facilitator for the Friday group that we are currently building. If you are a warm and welcoming person, with a love of waldorf education then please email tashr@tera.school.nz for an application form.

Our school policies have a regular review cycle. As part of a review, the board seeks community input into our policies. We welcome input from parents and caregivers, whānau, staff, students and board members.

The school car park over the road is being targeted as a dumping spot.

We support kindergarten and school whānau by publishing notices that may be of interest to members of our community. Publication in this newsletter is not a formal endorsement of events, services or goods advertised.

Friday 25 August in the School Hall from 7-8pm.
