New Junior Playground, here we come!
After much anticipation we're thrilled to announce the grand unveiling of our brand-new Junior Playground! The playground is now open for our young students to explore, learn, and have endless fun. It's been a heartwarming sight to see how our kids have embraced this fantastic addition to our school.
From the moment they set foot on the vibrant, safe, and inviting play area, our students have been brimming with joy and excitement. Their laughter and enthusiasm have been contagious, making the playground a hub of pure happiness.
One thing that has been particularly remarkable is how well our students have been sharing and taking turns on the playground equipment.

Perseverance / Kawea
Perseverance, or "Kawea," is a bit like being a detective on an exciting mystery adventure. Imagine you're solving a tricky puzzle or searching for hidden treasure.
Sometimes, it might feel like you're stuck, but if you keep looking for clues and never give up, you'll uncover the secret! Perseverance is about not quitting when things get tough.
It's like being a brave explorer, discovering new lands even when the path is full of challenges. So, always remember that when you stick with something and keep trying, you become an amazing problem-solver and adventurer!

Principal's Message
Teenaa koutou e te Whaanau,
Week 2 and we are off to a flying start! Welcome to the many new whanau who have joined our school community. It is always wonderful to meet new people and learn about their stories, share our own, and celebrate who we are.
This Thursday is the Spooky Disco in our school hall. Juniors/Teina 4.15-5.30pm, Seniors/Tuakana 5.45-7pm. Entry fee is $2 per student. Food / drink items will be available to buy. All tamariki must be picked up from the hall at the end of each session.
Just a reminder that this Monday 23rd October is Labour Day. School will not be open on this day as it is a public holiday. If you are traveling away for the long weekend please stay safe on the roads and hopefully we are treated to a couple of sun filled days.
