NAU MAI, HAERE MAI
Welcome to Term 2 - we are so excited to be here again with you for another term ahead. We hope that you had a wonderful time over the holidays and we ask for God's blessings for our new term ahead.
This is just a brief newsletter this week outlining a few important messages.
Over the holidays, Mr Anderson and his amazing wife Lizzie welcomed their new baby to the world. They had a bit of a rough beginning and we give abundant thanks to the gifts and talents of doctors, nursing staff and Life Flight who helped them all. Today we introduce our newest member to our school family, Baby George Anderson... we have included a little photo.
