Whānau Survey 2018
The whānau survey has ended and is being collated. We will start responding to and discussing ideas about where to next in the Term 2 newsletters. Thanks to all that contributed.
Friday Fun Day
A big thank you to the whānau that came along to support our Friday Fun Day. We were surprised by the response, the children loved it and whānau that came commented how relaxed and enjoyable it was. We are unsure about how many whānau visited classrooms and whether or not the timing of the day was good. Any whānau that have ideas about the day please contact us and let us know your thoughts.
We would also like to especially thank the following local businesses for their support and sponsorship of our “Family Fun Day”:
Kaikohe New World, The Warehouse Kaikohe, Bunnings Kaikohe, Unichem Kaikohe, Betta Electrical Kaikohe, Countdown Kaikohe, McDonalds Kaikohe and The Red Cross.
