A message from Te Ngahere teachers
Is is that exciting time of year again when we start celebrating Christmas and our amazing year we have had together in Te Ngahere. We have loved receiving cards or gifts from the students and their whanau in the past. It is especially nice to read a special message in a card. We wanted to request that if anyone was thinking of getting us a gift, we would appreciate no chocolate this year please. We all love chocolate, however we would prefer a card or a message. Thank you!
