Principal's Comment
Kia ora e te Whanau
You will have heard in the news that covid restrictions are no longer in place. As usual, we ask that if your child is unwell, for whatever reason, please keep them at home until they are feeling better.
Our Year 5/6 students have been out and about at various activities in the community in the last week. Last Friday we competed in the Spooner Shield. On Wednesday many students played in the Netball Festival and today our Year 6 children attended the Big Day Out at Napier Intermediate.
In all these activities one thing that stands out for me is our children's exceptional behaviour. It is a pleasure taking our children out into the community. Thanks children for your 'awesomeness'!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Moveathon
The Moveathon, as the name suggests, is a challenge where all our children move for 40 minutes on the school field. This will include walking, running, dancing etc... The event is lots of fun!
Sponsorship forms will be sent home on Wednesday next week.

Teacher only day - Tuesday 24 October
We opted not to use the first day earlier this year due to the disruption of Cyclone Gabriele.
We will be having our only teacher only day for the year on Tuesday 24 October. This coincides with Hawkes Bay Anniversary Day and Labour Weekend.
Whetu Iti Discovery Morning
In discovery, children get opportunities to play with other junior children and make and create with one another. It's a whole heap of fun!
