Book Week! Week 3!
3 Feb 2026

Kia ora e te whānau

We are excited to be celebrating our Book Week in Week 3 this term!

There will be exciting activities for our tamariki in class and in the wonderhub all week for them to participate in.

We want to develop a love of literacy in our tamariki and immerse them in a variety of learning activities. 

This year is looking a little different; instead of a whole school parade,  we will end the week with a 

BOOK CHARACTER DRESS UP DAY!

Students are invited to come to school dressed as their favourite character.  

We look forward to seeing our tamariki sharing their love of reading during this week.

 

Our Amazing Performance Evening TONIGHT!!!
10 Dec 2025

Kia ora e te whānau

Tonight is the night for our performance assembly!!! 6 pm start but remember if your child is performing, they need to be here at 5:15 pm. All students need to stay until the end of the evening. We expect to finish by 8pm.   Gate 2 will be open for you to enter the school for the evening.

With other events on in the local community we know the traffic is going to be horrendous. We encourage you to walk if you are able, or to arrive early to get a park. 

A request as well. Please refrain from bringing chewing gum on-site. Unfortunately, last year, gum was trodden into our turf in several places, and it was costly to remove. Thank you for your support in this. 

We are looking forward to having an amazing evening tonight!
