PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou,
It's hard to believe we are in the last week of school for the term. It has been another Covid (and flu) interrupted term where we have had a number of staff and student illnesses. I would like to extend a genuine thank you to our community for your support. I would also like to thank our staff for "mucking in" when required and the wonderful support they have shown one another.
Next term we welcome back Mrs Annie Boyd. I would like to thank Mrs Brenda O'Loughlin for doing a great job in Annie's absence. Brenda will move to Room 23 at the start of next term where she will start up a class of new entrants. Thank you Brenda.
Pou Blessing
Last Friday we had the blessing for the new Pou. They look fantastic!. Kaumatua Jerry Hapuku blessed the Pou for us. Unfortunately, Master Carver Phil Belcher could not be there to explain his work due to illness. A big well done to the Kapa Haka who performed with enthusiasm and thank you to those members of the public who were able to attend.
Hawke's Bay Rescue Helicopter
The Mufti day last week raised a significant $717.40 for the Rescue Helicopter. Well done team and thanks again to Nat Every for speaking to our Year 3-6 students about the incredible work they do in our community.
Have a great holiday period everyone. Take care if you are travelling and we look forward to seeing you all in the new term.
Ngā mihi

It is time to have your say! We spoke to the Department of Conservation (DOC) in Napier and asked them to recommend their top five endangered organisms in the region and how they can best use the money. They came up with this great list. Who gets your vote? You can only vote once.
