PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Kia ora koutou,

What an exciting week we had last week with the ‘Stories Through Glass’ exhibition. I hope that you all saw the great write up and photos in the weekender. It was wonderful to see the large numbers of whanau members and even the general public coming in to view the exhibition. Thank you to Jayne Baume for making this new learning experience possible for our tamariki.


Thank you to all of our parents who attended Academic Achievement Discussions last week. We had a great turn out despite the weather on Thursday. If you were not able to get to your child’s appointment, you have not missed out. Contact the class teacher and they will be able to fit an appointment in either before or after school one day.


Next week a group of tamariki will be representing our school at the Rugby Sevens Tournament. A big thank you to Jenna and Richie Conroy who are coaching this team. I am sure that this team will play hard and play fair and we wish them well for the day.


Tihiōtonga Team will be visiting the Maker Space Museum programme to learn more about Ihenga and Te Arawa Journeys from next week. This visit will support the wonderful work that is happening in the classrooms across the team. We are fortunate to have the bus funded by Ngati Whakaue which provides transport for our tamariki to attend the Museum programmes. Thank you to all of our whanau who are going with the classes to support their tamariki.
