Our approach is to provide a broad curriculum with rich and meaningful learning experiences.

Kia ora e te whānau,
A reminder that we will be holding our very first Hautapu ceremony this Wednesday morning to celebrate Matariki together as a kura.
Gate 4 (nearest the hall) will be open from 5:45am–6:00am, and the ceremony will begin at 6am, so please arrive in plenty of time.
Dress warmly- dressing gowns, oodies etc are all very welcome- it will be chilly at that time of the morning!
Our Kapa Haka rōopū will be supporting with the waiata during the ceremony (not a performance), and we’re so proud of their leadership.
After the ceremony, we’ll gather together to share some warm kai- vegetable soup. We are still gratefully accepting vegetable donations for our soup until Tuesday morning. Thank you so much to everyone who has already contributed!
We’re really looking forward to this special moment of reflection, remembrance, and new beginnings with our community.
Ngā manaakitanga,
PWS
Talofa Lava!
We have absolutely loved our celebrations this week - celebrating all things Samoan!
Friendly reminder that we have encouraged cultural dress across the week and would love to see our tamariki dressed up tomorrow so finish the week on a high!
Kia ora e te whānau!
Change of plans with our meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow for Matariki preparations.

Thank you to the families who have already donated vegetables for the morning. We are very grateful accept the donations across the next week and a half!
