Principal's Comment
Kia ora Parents and Caregivers
Welcome back to 2023! It is wonderful to see our children looking happy and refreshed. A special welcome to our twenty five new students who started this week.
We are looking forward to an exciting year in 2023 without the distraction of the lockdowns we have endured over the previous three years.
Our first big event is the 'Wagon Wheel' tabloid sports morning that will take place on Thursday 16 February at 9:30am.
I wish you all a lovely long Waitangi weekend. See you on Tuesday!
Nga mihi nui,
Steve
