Welcome to our new student, Sapphira Moncur-Cook
Tena Koutou Parents, Caregivers and Whanau.
Hello everyone,
Kia ora e hoa mä.
He aroha whakatō, he aroha ka puta mai.
If kindness is sown, then kindness is what you shall receive.
Wheels Wednesday
Wheels Wednesday was a great success with lots of children having fun on their wheels at morning tea and lunch time. It was great to see children showing kindness towards one and other.
Reminder - If children do not bring a helmet they cannot use their wheels. A helmet must be worn for all types of wheels at school.
We will be having another Wheels Wednesday in Week 7 on Wednesday 2 September.
School Disco
A big thank you to Rob for an outstanding disco. We appreciate your generosity providing the students with professional lighting and music.
Lockdown - We will be having a lockdown practice
on Monday.
