PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Kia ora koutou,


Welcome back to school for Term 3.


The staff all found out all about the school production at our staff meeting on Tuesday. You will no doubt start to hear all about the class items and hear the songs that the whole school is singing. This will definitely be a highlight for us this term.


A reminder about school closing early next week on Wednesday and Thursday for Academic Achievement Discussions. Your child will finish school at 2.00pm on both Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Any children who are not collected from school will be in the Library with Mrs Thompson and the support staff.


When you come into school next week for your appointment please take the opportunity to visit the ‘Stories Through Glass’ Exhibition, which will take place in A4. This will be open until 5.00pm each night. The artwork on display has been created by our very talented tamariki in Whakapoungakau Team. I have had a sneak preview and am blown away with the beautiful pieces of artwork. You will be amazed at the artist talent on display.
