Principal’s Message

Kia ora

 We are very nearly there to the end of Term 2, but with four days to go, still plenty of learning to be had. This week we are celebrating Matariki with a variety of activities culminating in a Hautapu and Whānau breakfast. You are all most welcome to come and join us on Friday morning in the school hall for a student led Hautapu ceremony and a hot breakfast.

We are very pleased to inform you that we have two new teachers starting next term, Sophia Turner who will be in Tuna, and Benin Kadhim who will be in Mokomoko. This is leading to a slight reshuffle of classes to balance out our junior classes but should set everyone up for a very settled and productive second half of the year.

Attendance

With the colder weather and increase in winter coughs and colds there has been a definite drop on attendance rates.   The ministry have advice on their site to guide decision making around when a bit sick is too sick to come to school.
