💙 FULL-OF-GRATITUDE FRIDAY 💙

Today, we are sending a massive thank you to the Middlemore Foundation for keeping our community warm!

Their incredible Jammies for June appeal provides winter pajamas to local kids to keep them healthy and cozy through the coldest months.

Want to help? > Bring in a new pair of winter PJs (ages 4+) or support them directly. Scan the QR code or head to their website to find out more! 👉

We have a busy and exciting Week 9 ahead! Check out below to see all the awesome events, tournaments, and meetings happening across the school over the next few days.

Don't forget to lock these details into your family calendar! And if you haven't booked yet, jump on to HERO to book a time to see your child's teacher for Student-Led Conferences. Have a fantastic week, everyone! ❤️

💎 Full-of-Gratitude Friday 💎

This week, we would like to acknowledge and thank the Kindness Collective Foundation for the wonderful support they provide to our school community.

Our tamariki are able to have access to everyday essentials like food, warm clothing, and toys, helping them stay comfortable, happy, and ready to thrive each day. And it’s for FREE! ✨

💤 Since today is National PJ Day, it’s the perfect time to celebrate how small acts of comfort—like a warm pair of jammies or a helping hand—can make a massive difference for local families.

🧸 How you can help spread the kindness today: You can donate new toys, warm winter clothing, or volunteer your time to support their incredible mission.

We know that with the current cost of living, making ends meet can be a struggle and you might find yourself short on kai.

To help out, LIFE Community Kitchens offers free kai to our community every Wednesday in the Māngere Town Centre.

Head over to the Recreation Hall at the Moana Nui a Kiwa Pool and Leisure Centre (66R Mascot Avenue). No judgement, just good food and amazing community care ❤️

Welcome to Week 8! While it’s a quieter week than usual, we have a few key dates and activities you won't want to miss. Have a look at what’s happening this week! 🌟

Join us on Tuesday 16th or Wednesday 17th June to celebrate your child's learning and set new goals!
👉 Book now via the HERO app.
📄 Hard copy forms are also available if needed.
For alternative times, please contact your classroom teacher directly.
Looking forward to seeing you there! 🌟
