Kia orana Parents and Caregivers,

On Thursday, 28th May, we kindly ask if students could please bring 1 or 2 nu’s to school. If you are able to bring more, we would truly appreciate your support.

These will help with our okooko preparation for the Prince of Wales at Apii Takitumu stall.

Meitaki maata for your continued support and generosity.

Kia orana parents and caregivers,

Tauakume Vaine has been working hard creating a fun and welcoming learning space for our ECE children, and has now created a special Parents’ Corner for all our parents and families to enjoy.

Our children absolutely love this little space, especially seeing their photos proudly displayed. It has become a warm and happy corner where families can connect and celebrate the learning happening in our ECE class.

Introducing our ECE Parents’ Corner. 🌸

Good morning,

If this key belongs to you, please come to our office at school to pick up.
