Gumboot day

Hayley Read - November 9, 2022

Last Friday students and staff participated in Gumboot day organised by Whaea Holly. As she said to our ākonga, for people struggling with depression, it can feel like walking through mud every day. So we all wore our gummies to show our support and take a walk in their shoes for just one day.

Mike King says that Primary and Intermediate is the key to success and are the heart of the community. Here are links that may help you have those discussions with your tamariki at home.
