What a wonderful morning we had at our special Grandparents Assembly today! We are so delighted that so many fabulous grandparents could join us for a lovely time of singing and celebration together.
Afterwards, the children had some fun sharing their amazing work in the classroom. It was a joy to see everyone come together and create such a super experience. Thank you to all the grandparents for making today so special - we may need to build a bigger hall for next time! 😆
Here are a few photos of our tamariki hosting their grandparents in their class - we hope there is more photos to share later on.

Sad news. There are no tickets available for the entire Disco this evening. It is totally sold out and we cannot accommodate any additional children safely. There will be NO door sales. This is the first time we have had a complete sellout and it has taken us by surprise! Our wonderful PTA will address this for our 2025 Disco. We know there will be some disappointed children, but we do need to adhere to health and safety guidelines and we are at capacity now.
