Welcome officially to 2023 at our Macleans Primary Kura! It was sure great to see so many smiling faces - children, teachers and mum & dads! Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we followed directions from the Ministry of Education to navigate the recent weather emergency. We are ready for school and teachers have been busy planning engaging programmes for an awesome time of learning.

To all of the new tamariki...we extend a special welcome to you and your whānau. We look forward to getting to know you :)))

We are all excited for our Whānau Picnic and Meet the Teacher next week, THURSDAY 9 FEBRUARY. If the weather is poor we will hold off on the picnic and parents can go straight to your child's class. So hopefully we will be able to bring a blanket and a picnic and meet other MPS whānau before meeting the teacher in your child's classroom. More details on the Meet the Teacher being sent out Monday/Tuesday.

Enjoy the loooong weekend everyone!

Happy Waitangi Day New Zealand!

Regards

Principal Matthew Cooke
