Whānau Survey 2018
During the holidays teachers looked closely at the collated Whānau Survey comments. We were very pleased and appreciated reading positive comments whānau wrote like:
“It's very whanau and community orientated. Staff are very welcoming and we love how our special needs children are included in the school.”
We want to show whānau that we have thought about your ideas in terms of improvements we can make. So this week we are replying (in blue) to comments on the following from Whānau to share what we do and what we can do about the query shared.
Whānau Query: Upskill and understand practise of kawa and tikanga kei roto i te whare tapu o Ngāpuhi.
Our response:
We would like to have a meeting with interested whānau to discuss this kaupapa. A meeting will be held later in the term.
