Te Rōhutu Whio 28th April 2022

Kia ora e te whānau! Free kawhe coffee and some special events!

Kia ora e te whānau,


We enjoyed seeing many of you at your child's personalised learning conferences last term and look forward to greeting the rest of you at the ones coming up this Mane Monday!


We are super excited that we are at orange level now and are able to have you come through the gates and drop your tamariki off in learning spaces. With orange level it is up to each whānau to decide whether their children wear masks. To celebrate this new chapter, you will be able to start your day with free coffee from the van on our first day of normal classes, Tuesday 3rd May!


Mihi Whakatau


We are absolutely thrilled to say that we are able to have our Mihi Whakatau go ahead on Tāite Thursday 5th May - Wiki 1 of Term 2.


The Mihi Whakatau is a special welcome acknowledging our tangata whenua people of the land and manuhiri guests and welcomes us all to be one together. We are so excited to have you as part of our Te Rōhutu Whio whānau! Due to orange light we are able to invite one person from each whānau to attend.


Please see below for how the morning will run:

  • 9.30am Manuhiri Visitors and Whānau to wait outside of Te Rōreka office

  • Manuhiri to be welcomed into our Learning Village

  • Kaikōrero speaker from Te Rōhutu Whio to welcome new whānau followed by waiata song

  • Kaikōrero speaker from new whānau to respond followed by waiata song

  • Kai shared together

  • Karakia to close


Kia pai te rā. Enjoy your day.

Lost Property

We are finding some lost property without names in it, that we are unable to return to its owner. Please check that all of your child’s items are named clearly.

Clothing Donations Please

Play time outside can be great fun, but can lead to students getting wet or dirty over during the outside activities. At the moment we do not have any spare clothes to offer the children to change into so we are asking if you have clean and tidy clothing items that your tamariki no longer have a use for, we would really appreciate them especially shorts, trousers and polo tops. Please ask your tamariki to bring them into the office - Ngā mihi
