Board By-Election

We have two positions available for appointment on our School Board, nomination forms have been posted to all eligible voters.  If you have any questions please contact our Returning Officer Kohi Woodman in the office.

Netball

Well done to all netball players of the day last week. 

Just a reminder that we need to be at Lindvart Park at 3.30pm and games will finish approximately 4.45pm. Please remind your child to wear the appropriate footwear (sneakers) and to bring a bottle of water.  All players are to meet after school at Room 15 for organisation.

Reports and Class letters home todayAll children who have been at our school for 6 weeks or more will be bringing home in an envelope their mid-year report.  They will also bring home an updated class letter that shares some important classroom information. We trust both reports and class letters are helpful to whānau however if there are any matters you need some clarification on please do not hesitate to come and see your child’s/children’s teacher/s in the first instance.

Bling, Bling Toi MaramaOur tamariki are busy creating for this year's Bling Bling Toi Mārama light festival. The theme is Te Waonui a Tāne.  This year the festival will run for four days, from the 7th July - 11th July.  Thanks to Ākau for creating this awesome opportunity to celebrate Matariki.
