Ma whero ma pango ka oti ai te mahi. With red and black the work will be complete.. This refers to co-operation where if everyone does their part, the work will be complete. The colours refer to to the traditional kowhaiwhai patterns on the inside of the meeting houses.
Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa e nga māna, e nga reo huri noa tō tātou takiwā e korowai nei i te aroha o Te Parawhau o Ngāti Kāhu o Torongare. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
Nau mai hoki mai ki te kura takawaenga o Whangarei. I hope you had an awesome and refreshing time during the holidays with your tamariki. It has been a great start to the term even though the weather has been a rather tad challenging with it being so wet.
As you are aware we are back wearing masks to prevent students and staff from getting unwell with flu and or Covid. We thank everyone for complying with this expectation. We have a limited amount of masks for our students and thank those who are wearing their own. Either way, we are encouraging all of our student body to wear their masks, covering their nose and mouth. For whatever reason your child can't wear a mask, please just send an email to your child's teacher: first name. surname@wis.ac.nz Kia haumaru kia koutou katoa. Be safe everyone.
We have another busy term ahead of us again: School Science Fair, High School visits and Open days, WIS Contributing School visits, AIMs games, Debating, Whānau Events, and to mention a few of the events. AIMs Games will be held in Tauranga towards the end of this term from Sunday 4 to Friday 9 September. We are planning to take teams to represent WIS in hockey, sevens, netball, squash, tennis, and soccer to name a few. Once again, Mr. Rankin is the organiser extraordinaire! Many thanks, Mr. Rankin-he mihi nui ki a koe.
