📢 Reminder for Parents & Caregivers

School for Term 2 starts tomorrow, Monday 20 April, at the usual time of 8:55am and finishes at 2:45pm.

The weather may be unpredictable, but it is very important that all students attend school as normal. Please ensure your child is prepared for the conditions.

What a great way to finish Term 1!

On the last day, our School Community Policing Team put on a sausage sizzle and pool party for our tamariki with top attendance.

We’re doing fun things like this to encourage our kids to come to school every day, because every day matters.

Big thank you to Constable T and the team. The kids loved it!

Welcome to 2026! 📚🎒✨
