Principal’s Message

Kia ora

Another busy term ahead of us, we currently have students and staff working hard to prepare for Te Kiwa Nui where they will perform on Tuesday 4 August. The following week we will be holding our Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu parent-teacher hui so please go onto HERO and book a slot or contact our office and they will book it for you. Later that week we will also be holding the “Re-purpose Pals” workshop.

The driveway to Nuanua Kindergarten is now much more congested due to the building work at PIC church hall. Please do not go up this driveway unless taking younger children to Nuanua, we ask all our whānau to stop behind the church or to use our school carpark.
