PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
I am currently away on sick leave but Judy Belton our Deputy Principal will be able to assist you with any queries until my return.
Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2022.
The Māori Language Petition (Te Petihana) presentation to Parliament on 14 September 1972, with over 30,000 signatures, kickstarted major shifts in the revival of te reo Māori as a living language in Aotearoa New Zealand. Since this moment 50 years ago, Te Petihana has, and continues, to inspire the Maōri language movement.
Garden To Table
What beautiful weather we had at garden to table this week. The rain on Monday has certainly filled the reservoirs! The gardeners have been very busy planting seeds so they are all ready for calf club. Those seeds planted in the last couple of weeks are looking great and we've pricked them out ready to take off in the garden. The kitchen crews busily whipped up a couple of sweet treats with banana and chocolate chip muffins on the Te Wheke menu, and some fudgilicious beetroot brownies for Mangopare. Kaitaki whipped up some brassica based fritters served with a one hour focaccia bread. Look out next week for our stall on Friday where you can sample some of our yummy bakes.

Thames Centennial Pools Learn to Swim Programme
BLOCK LESSONS ARE BACK
Block lessons are running this coming school holidays, from the 10th - 14th October from 9am.
Block lessons are an intensive block of training where each group has a 30min lesson daily for 4 days and are a great way to reintroduce or learn new swimming skills before Term 4 lessons start.
Block lessons are available for the following skill levels: Eel, Octopus, Snapper and Kingfish.
The price for the week of lessons is $45 and payment is due on the first day of lessons (10th October).
Spaces are limited, so be in quick to secure your spot. No assessments are needed prior to booking a spot, but we will be asking about the swimmers ability to ensure they are placed in the correct group.
Call into the pool at any stage during their open hours to book your space.
