Welcome
A very special welcome to our following new tamariki and their whānau: Lucas Penno, Kyaleah, Tamatoa and Kyzah Tauteka-Wharerau, Adoniah Tanginoa, Touriel Huia-Tauariki, Meya-Rose and Mokau Johnson.
Water Update
Today as a follow up from the John Carter and Ministry of Education meeting held here last week we are having a water tank installed. Once the tank is in place it will be filled by an out of town provider. We are continuing to do well as a school and community and we need to continue doing what we are to help reduce usage. Currently we are having continuous leak problems and are making plans to have our water mains replaced as they are old and rusty.
