Thank you to all the whānau who took the time to come and talk with teachers about their child’s mahi. We really appreciate conversations we have about your child’s learning and listening to whānau ideas about supporting learning and our school.
For those whānau who were unable to attend the Whānau hui, we will be sending their mid term progress report home with your child today.
Please make a time to come and have a chat with your child’s teacher at any time if you have any queries about your child’s report.
