Whanau Education Action Plan

Currently the school is liaising with Keryn Bristowe from Te Taitokerau Attendance service and our School Social Worker Lucy Taurua Mason about selecting children and whanau to support with their learning.  Over the next few weeks Keryn and or Lucy will be in touch with whanau we believe may like to be involved.  If you are contacted and need to talk to Whaea Chicky about anything please do not hesitate.

Mid-Year Reports

Mid-Year Reports will go home Week 10, last week of Term 2, on Wednesday 6th July.  If your child has been at school for less than 6 weeks they will not receive a report, however, you can make a time with their teacher if you wish to discuss anything.

 

Please return school reading books

Could all whanau please have a good look over the weekend for any school reading books or library books.  Our school reading book supplies seem to be very low at the moment and we think that this is because children may have brought books home and forgotten to return them.  Please return any books, no questions asked!  Teachers will be rewarding any children who return books.

Breakfast Club is in the hall every morning from 8.00-8.30am. All children and their whanau are welcome to come and enjoy a nutritious breakfast to kick start their day.
