Te Uho o te Nikau Primary School

🎬🍿 Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported our Toy Story 5 Movie Night Fundraiser! We hope you had a fantastic evening. Congratulations to all of our raffle basket winners, and thank you for your continued support of our school community.

Hello and here we have sisters Heavenly and Harmony alongside mum Rita, dad Elenwo, and little sister Helen. Originally from Nigeria, the family chose New Zealand for its beautiful environment and strong education opportunities. Heavenly is a calm, observant, and capable learner who leads with gentleness and maturity, and enjoys dancing and reading. Harmony is an academically able learner who values her own space, takes her time to contribute, and loves reading and drawing. Together, they bring kindness, thoughtfulness, and a love of learning to our school community. We can't wait to see the wonderful contributions these two sisters will make as part of our school whānau!

Namaste and welcome to Yeshaan and his whānau! Arriving from Best Start Flat Bush, Yeshaan is excited to start big school soon. The family love cars, whether it be going for drives in Dad's sports car, or driving in his toy cars up and down the driveway while dad is grilling on the BBQ, Yeshaan and his younger brother love to be part of the action. Yeshaan loves all sorts of dinosaurs including the t-rex. He is also really looking forward to seeing some of his friends at Te Uho o Te Nikau. We look forward to seeing you soon too!

ជំរាបសួរ and another exciting sibling enrolment joins our school whānau! Here we have Natalie alongside dad Rathy, mum Huzana, and big sister Amilia. Natalie comes from a family whose journey has taken them from Cambodia to New Zealand, bringing with them a strong sense of family and adventure. She is a very friendly young learner who has a special gift for making friends wherever she goes. Gentle, helpful, and full of enthusiasm, Natalie enjoys drawing, dancing, swimming, and dressing up in imaginative play. We are so excited to have you join us, Natalie- welcome to our school whānau!

Sat sri akal (warm punjabi greetings) to Manraj and his family. Manraj joins us just after his older brother Ekas has graduated and moved to OJC. The family love being active whether it is being outdoors going to parks and riding bikes, or playing Bingo, cards and puzzles. Manraj enjoys playing table tennis with his older brother and doing lots of trick shots. He is very interested in helicopters and likes building them with lego and mobilo. We look forward to having you join us soon Manraj!

Some videos from the last swimming session for the year. All learners learnt a lot about being confident and safe in the water. Thanks to all our staff and parents who supported us during the last 9 weeks of swimming.

Today marks the last swimming session for Year 5, and it's all about water safety, teamwork, and raft safety. Great effort, everyone! Te Kaihuia, you've done fantastically!

Māhuri’s final swimming lesson of the term focused on vital water safety skills. Students practiced working together, using life jackets, and mastering raft safety.

Nuzaif sat quietly with Kōkā Justine as we created a kete together…”Blue now” followed with “and glue” all the way until we finished! So proud of you Nuzaif - ka rawe tō mahi 👍🏾

Final swimming lesson for Mamaku Y6’s. Keep safe together through turbulent water. “If there is a hole in your boat, you must hold onto your lifejacket and hold your nose when you exit the boat” says Avalay.
