Principals Word

Kia ora whānau

What a great Term 3 we have had, with lots of sunny days, smiling faces and a hum of learning around our kura and in our classes.

We are excited to continue this year full of fun experiences, sporting, cultural, community minded events and celebrations, along with everything in between.

I look forward to seeing you all at our "Blossom Festival" on the 24th September at GVS. All Whanau & friends are encouraged to attend and support this Major Event.

Enjoy a happy and safe weekend.

Well done Tane and Sullivan. At the start of the term these two were very apprehensive about doing speeches. Today not only did they write an amazing persuasive speech they even presented it in front of their class.	Fabulous independent writing Tytan. We are so proud of you 👍	These little super stars Isabella and Savarnah are only five and are already handwriting stars ⭐️

Term Dates

Term 4 - Monday 17 October – Wednesday 14 December

Important info for those who use the bus service

From June 4 Bayhopper buses will be free for students from 7am-9am and from when school finishes until 5pm Monday to Friday. Students can no longer travel on the bus for free at the weekend.

Students will still need to have a registered Bee Card with a child concession. The key is to tag on when entering and tag off when leaving the bus, so they don’t get charged a standard fare

To apply for a Bee Card and get a concession loaded, please visit www.beecard.co.nz or plan your bus journey at www.baybus.co.nz.

If you have any queries, please contact us at transport.admin@boprc.govt.nz or call 0800 4 BAY BUS.
