Welcome back!

Dear Whānau,

We hope you’ve all had a relaxing summer break and your child is looking forward to their year ahead in the Middle School.

Your child’s stationery will be distributed on Monday. Below is a list of books and what they will be used for. It is up to you whether you would like to cover the books, however, we do encourage this as it increases the longevity of the books. Please could you ensure that your child’s name, studio number and subject are written on the front cover before returning them to school. 

Please send a reusable bag with your child on Monday so that we can send their books home. 

We ask that all books are returned to school by the end of Week 1.

We encourage your child to have a named drink bottle filled with water at school each day as it is very warm in our studios at this time of year.

For the Year 4’s, BYOD is optional and starts in Week 2, once your child has signed and returned their permission slip to the office. You will find more on this programme in the Start of Year Pack.

Please don’t hesitate to contact or see us if you have any questions or queries as we begin the school year. Our email address are listed below:
