Next Friday is Pink Shirt Day. Come to school in Pink support the movement to Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora – Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!

Our student leaders had a great day at the Young Leaders Day. Proudly wearing our new sports uniform. Massive thanks to Paul Glover from Ray White Beach Haven for his donation for our new sports uniforms, and Whaea Noush for getting them done for us.

Anzac Day - No school on Monday. While Anzac Day is the 25th April, if it falls on the weekend, there will be a public holiday the following Monday. This means that school is closed on Monday, 27th April as it is a public holiday.

Reminder that we have a Teacher Only day on Friday 8th May. School is closed for children.

Unfortunately, due to the weather tomorrow, Inter school Swimming Sports has been cancelled.

Just in time for the school holidays.

If you have time, we would love your nomination to help our awesome kura win 10K in sports equipment.
