Well done Kobe Kopa from Room 7 and R’mahni Wilson-Ashby. We look forward to receiving calendars soon to distribute to whānau.
PLANNED STRIKE DAY
On Tuesday 13th November Primary schools in Tai Tokerau will be closed as teachers strike.
Why are we on strike?
* More teachers – so your kids can get more attention * More resources/staff to support children with additional learning needs * A pay jolt to salaries for teachers to address the teacher shortage – so that your children will have a teacher in the future.

Tūmanako – Volunteer Student ArmyRecently we were given $500 worth of plants by Dairy NZ to plant at a local dairy farm to help keep our waterways clean. We selected Northland College Farm as it is close to us and we share the waterways with them. Last week Tūmanako went to plant the beautiful trees purchased.
Here are a few pictures of Tūmanako’s (Room 17) great work.
