Matipo Primary

Congratulations Maisie in Room 12 who took home the Retro Handheld Gaming Console from today's spot prize draw!

A reminder that all students who have signed up online and received at least one donation by 9am Friday go into the draw to win this awesome Retro Handheld Gaming Console.

We're looking for a new Learning Assistant to join our team. Please get in touch if you're keen.

Today our House Leaders took part in a Zoom with students from Beijing First Experimental Primary School in China.

The class shared information about their school, retold the traditional tale of Mulan, and asked questions about life in New Zealand. In return, our leaders taught the students some phrases in Te Reo Māori and proudly performed Tohora Nui.

The biggest reaction of all came when our students explained that they don’t have lots of homework!

It was a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchange, connection, and learning from one another across the world.

Congratulations to Kit from Room 3 who won our Mathathon sign-up prize of a Karaoke Microphone! We hope you have lots of fun with your new mic this weekend Kit! 😁

Matipo went pink for Pink Shirt Day Aotearoa.
Thanks to our Future Leaders group who organised face-painting before school and provided teachers with special WAKA tokens to recognise those demonstrating kindness. 🩷

Hoods Up, Volume Down – Supporting our Autistic Community

Wednesday 29th April at 10am, we’re inviting all our tamariki to take part in Hoods Up, Volume Down in support of Autism NZ.

This is a special opportunity to show understanding and support for members of our community who experience the world differently. By turning down the noise and popping our hoods up, we help raise awareness about sensory experiences for autistic people.

Students are encouraged to:
Wear their favourite hoodie

Together, we can help build empathy, inclusion, and support across our kura and community.
