🚨 Fire Drill Success! 🚨

We held a routine fire drill today, and our students and staff absolutely aced it! Everyone reacted instantly, followed safety protocols perfectly, and evacuated the building in record time.

We are incredibly proud of the children for their excellent listening skills and maturity. Safety is our top priority, and today our school community proved just how well-prepared we are! 👏🌟

📢 TOMORROW IS PINK SHIRT DAY! 💖

Don't forget to wear something pink tomorrow, Friday 15 May, as we stand together for kindness and inclusion at Howick Primary!

🌸 Quick Reminder:
• Wear: Something pink! (Make sure it's practical for school and play).
• Bring: A gold coin donation for the Pink Shirt Day kaupapa.

Let’s turn our school pink and show that we’re all about being "upstanders!" See you all in your bright colors tomorrow morning! 👚✨

Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora!

Our Garden to Table programme was in full swing yesterday! 🌿

The students showed incredible teamwork moving mulch from the top of the hill to our banana trees. It was wonderful to see them so engaged and working together to care for our school garden. 🍌🤝

Well done, team!

The uniform shop will be open for an hour longer on Monday morning 8:30 - 10:30am.

It won’t be open on Monday afternoon.

💚Thank you to our amazing school community for donating $295.00 today to The Sir John Kirwan - Mitey - Mental Health Foundation. Donations go directly toward supporting children's wellbeing and mental health.
