Papatoetoe West School is now in a lockdown practice.  This is how you will be notified should a lockdown occur at the school.  Please REFRAIN FROM CONTACTING ANY STAFF AT THE SCHOOL, as this could lead to the distraction of their primary focus, which is caring for our students.  Please refer to all further updates on the school website.

Kia ora! 

Friendly reminder that as part of our International week we would love to see all our tamariki wearing their cultural attire, or something that represents them tomorrow! 

We have our assembly at 11:45am tomorrow and welcome our families to attend.

Kia ora e te whānau

On Friday, 27th February, students will be participating in our  HOUSE SPORTS day. This is a whole school event where our tamariki will represent their school ‘HOUSE’ in a series of fun challenges. Our aim is to promote pride in their school house and for them to enjoy a sense of belonging.

You are more than welcome to come and support your child for some or all of the day. At 9:20 am - Y4-6 are meeting on the top court, and Y0--3 are meeting in the hall. Activities will begin at 9:40 am and run until 12:30 pm. 

We hope you can come along and join us for the morning!

Friendly reminder that we have our International Week Parent Meeting in the Staffroom at 3pm THIS afternoon. 

Throughout the year, we celebrate Te Reo Māori, Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Cook Islands Māori, and our Indian languages and cultures during special weeks.

International Week is an opportunity to bring to life the many other cultures represented within our school. 

If you would like to contribute to International Week by sharing your culture or language, we warmly invite you to join us at our meeting to help plan the week.
