📚✨ Literacy Week 2026 ✨📚

What a fabulous way to finish Term 2. Our amazing Literacy Week was filled with exciting opportunities for our learners to celebrate their love of reading and writing. From writing book reviews and designing creative book covers to exploring great reads at the Scholastic Book Fair, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

The highlight of the week was undoubtedly our Book Character Dress-Up Day! It was wonderful to see so many learners and staff bringing their favourite book characters to life. The creativity, effort, and enthusiasm on display were outstanding, and the quality of the costumes seems to get better every year.

A huge thank you to our parents and whaanau for your incredible support in helping create these fantastic costumes. Your time, creativity, and encouragement helped make the day so special for our tamariki.

A massive thank you also to our School Literacy Team, Mrs Shrestha, Mrs Ingram- Trevis and Miss Downer, your organisation for Literacy week, definitely brought the joy for our learners and staff. Ka pai:)

What a wonderful week celebrating the joy of literacy 📖.

Tamaoho Speech Finals

Kia ora e te whaanau,

On Thursday we held our Speech Finals for our Year 4- 6 learners. The confidence, preparation and delivery shown by each speaker was simply outstanding, making the judging for Mrs Morgan and Mrs Harduar incredibly difficult.

It was wonderful to see our learners rise to the occasion and represent themselves so well. We had a captive audience!

A heartfelt thank you to our kaiako and whaanau for the encouragement, support and preparation given to our learners leading up to this event. Opportunities like this reflect the collective mahi that sits behind our learners' success.

Congratulations to all our speech finalists. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves! 🎊 👏
