Welcome
A very special welcome to our following new tamariki and their whānau: Toretto Tran, Natasha and Te Arepa Repia, Lionel Hepi and Jayne Pulevaka.
Condolences
Our deepest condolences to the whānau of our community who have lost loved ones this week. Our love and thoughts go out to you all.
Water Update
We now have a water tank on site but it is yet to be connected. Once it is this can be used as backup for bathrooms around the school should we ever need it. We are also in the process of having all school water mains replaced. This project will be starting as soon as possible as we are continuing to have regular problems with leaks. It is great to see how well our community is doing in regard to conserving water, keep it up whānau!
Here are a few tips for at home to keep saving water:
Flush the toilet less
If you have half flush use that or put a soft drink bottle in your toilet cistern to reduce quantity of water you flush
Use hand sanitiser or wipes instead of washing them from time to time
Place a large tub in the shower, stand in it and collect water for reuse
Keep a bottle of water in the fridge to drink rather than running water to fill a glass of water
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club has started and runs from 8am - 8.45.
All tamariki are welcome to come to the school hall to have a breakfast kai to start their day. Weetbix, fruit, yoghurt, baked beans and toast. Yum!
Principal's Award RecipientSpecial congratulations to Jayze Yukich for starting the year so well, a great attitude and effort so far!

Every morning from 8.15-8.30am and 3-3.15pm Mrs Maihi is on road duty at the pedestrian crossing closest to Paper Plus and the Doctors. Please be sure your child gets to the crossing so that they can cross during these times.
