Kia ora e te whānau

Thank you to all our whānau who came to give our withdrawn WonderHub books a new home!

We are thrilled that so many of our tamariki will have books to read over the holiday break! Thank you for fostering the love of literacy!

We wish you all a wonderful break and look forward to seeing everyone return on Monday, 20 April, for the start of term 2!

Kia ora e te whānau

We have a selection of books that have been withdrawn from our lovely WonderHub and are looking for a new home!

Please come and help yourself this morning after you have visited your child's class to see their term 1 work.

They will be out the front of the office at 9 am, and then also later this afternoon from 2:30 pm

Happy last day of school!

Kia ora e te whānau, 

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is the final day of Term 1- and it’s shaping up to be a really special one!

1. We’d love to welcome families into classrooms from 9:05–9:30am to see and celebrate all the amazing inquiry learning that’s taken place this term.
2. There’s also an exciting experience planned for students during the day that they won’t want to miss

School will finish at the usual time of 2:55pm.

Looking forward to a fantastic last day of Term 1 together!

What to look for:

Early signs: Mild fever, headache, or feeling unusually tired.
The Rash: Red spots that turn into itchy blisters.
Action Steps:

Healthy students should be at school: If your child is well and has no symptoms, we look forward to seeing them in class for our final two days of term.
If symptoms appear: Please keep them home, call Healthline (0800 611 116), and notify the school office.
Thank you for your ongoing support in keeping our community healthy and our students engaged in their learning.
