Week 10, Term 1 2025 Newsletter

Kia ora e te whānau, 

The first term of the 2025 school year has been super busy with lots of wonderful learning and experiences at school. I think we are all looking forward to well deserved holiday time.

A reminder that this school term finishes on Friday April 10 and resumes on Monday 28 April.

I would like to wish everyone a very happy and safe holiday time.

Thank you once again for your involvement in, and support of our school/kura. We value the partnerships we have. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries, questions or concerns, principal@wairakeichch.school.nz .

Kia haumaru te noho, stay well.

Ngā mihi nui,
