Kia ora koutou

Kapa haka uniform amnesty - please return any ‘lost’ uniforms from previous performances that may be lingering at your home - we would greatly appreciate their anonymous return!

Already this year our kapa haka group have performed at our mihi whakatau at the beginning of each term, and welcomed several visiting groups onto our school site; including Longworth Education, and Professor Toby Greany from the Institute of Education in London. There are several other performance opportunities on the cards for later dates as well!

We have been offered an amazing opportunity through Education Perfect (developers of online learning programmes) to host a free trial of their "Getting Started in Māori" programme. “Each unit contains vocabulary questions, comprehension questions, writing and speaking activities, with the units designed to be broken up into scaffolded blocks so that they are appropriate for young students learning a language.” If you’re interested in your child being signed up to access this unique opportunity please contact Ms Sutherland or your child’s pod teacher.
