Our goal is to:

Create Connected, Passionate, Purposeful Learners

In this newsletter:

  •  we celebrate the successes of our learners and teachers;
  •  discuss our response to the Tomorrow's School Taskforce report 'Our Schooling Futures'; 
  • share a NEX funding opportunity for teachers;
  • showcase the opportunities for Gifted and Talented learners and  give you a heads up on Ministry funded support;
  • invite your students to participate in our te reo Māori Kuki Airani connection;
  • and ask that you share information about Afrikaans online with your Afrikaan whānau.

Please take some time to read our newsletter over the school holiday break. Get in touch if there is anything you are interested in or want to know more about, or give us your feedback or ideas on what you would like to see us develop through our collaborative network. Your input and support helps shape the opportunities we can provide for our learners. 

Kia pai tō whakangā
