New Junior Class for Term 3

Due to the high numbers in the Junior area of the school we are creating a new Junior (Year 1 and 2) possibly Bilingual learning space in Room 7 with Whaea Waiora who is returning from leave at the beginning of Term 3.  We have selected a few children we think would be best suited to be in this class however if whānau wish to request their child be in this class please get in touch with us.

Role Models

Bus Bay Reminder

Whānau are reminded that stopping in the bus bay is not permitted.  Bus drivers get annoyed when pulling in and cars are parked in our bus bay.

Cars should not use the bus bay at all from 8.15-9.15am and 2.30-3.30pm

Transition Days

Our Year 6 children will be visiting Kaikohe Intermediate School for Transition in Term 2 on Wednesday June 12th and in Term 3 on Wednesday 21st August.

Children will be expected to wear their uniform on both these days and will be travelling by bus leaving at about 9am and returning at 12.30pm.

We are planning for two dance groups to work with BoDeene Stephens from Hush Dance Studio at the beginning of Term 3.  We are looking forward to the two groups working hard and performing at the annual Cultural Festival to be held towards the end of Term 3 at the Memorial Hall.
