PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Great to see that 42 of our families have downloaded our new school app. This is an easy way to notify the office of your child's absence or find information quickly. We will also utilise the app to send out alerts with information you may need urgently. Please make sure that the office has your correct contact information.

Garden To Table

We were so busy cooking we forgot to take photos! This week Te Wheke made some Fruit Muffins and they were delicious! A great opportunity to continue using and developing our knife skills. Thank you to the Urwin family for raiding their apple tree for us.
Out in the garden we pricked out all the seedlings.
