PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou,
Not since 2019 have we had such a run of events. Last week we had Rippa, Barefoot, a class trip and our Junior Cross Country. This week we have our Cross Country for the rest of school, Year 5/6 mathletics and a writers workshop all happening. All this takes a fair bit of organisation and we're lucky to have a great group of teachers who put in the extra time to organise, practice and get everything sorted. We also lean heavily on whānau to help us out so a huge thanks to all the parents for managing, transporting and supporting our children.
Ngā mihi nui,
Paul Jamieson

STARTING SCHOOL : 4 Year Old Mornings
- We find 4 visits before starting school is usually sufficient. However, if your child requires more we would be in close communication with you.
- Whanau are welcome to stay for the first visit and leave when the child / parent feels comfortable. Subsequent visits we ask that parents be brave and leave so that the child experiences what school is like.
- Please pack a snack for brainfood (fruit, sandwich, muesli bar) and something for morning tea.
- Children can wear mufti clothing or school uniform if they have it available.
Please don't hesitate to pop in and see us if you have any questions or concerns.
