We hope that all our tamariki had a great time at our discos last night. Thank you to Darren Foster who kindly donated and set up our lights. We’re very thankful for your time and energy you put in to making it a great disco for everyone. 🪩

To all our wonderful supporters of our bake sale thank you for your donations. Lots of yummy baking was supplied and we are super grateful of your generosity. 🧁

To our helpers who helped supervise at the disco and man the bake sale stall we couldn’t do these without your help.🫶

To the wonderful teachers who showed us their dance moves and took part in the fun thank you. We hoped you loved it as much as the tamariki.

DJ Matua Jonnie thank you for the awesome tunes 🎧🎤 love your mahi.

We will update you soon with the final total of what we have fundraised.

Keep Collecting Those Apple Stickers!

A huge shout out to Maddie, whose enthusiasm and determination have inspired us all! Maddie has gone above and beyond, rallying family, friends, and even workplaces to help collect Apple Stickers for our school.

Please keep collecting your stickers over the coming months. Our next collection will take place in October, and we'll share more details closer to the time.

Every sticker counts and helps us earn valuable sports equipment and resources for our tamariki. Let's see how many we can collect together, Matipo!

We are incredibly proud to share that Mrs Levi has been awarded a secondment with NZCER to undertake an exciting research project exploring the connection between Physical Health and Education and Language Learning.
