Today we gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving as our end-of-year celebration, sharing a special moment with our tamariki to reflect on a beautiful year of learning, growth, and friendship. This time together is so important to us. A chance to revisit memories, say goodbye to friends moving on, and warmly welcome new friends who joined us this year.
One of our special focuses this year has been supporting our tamariki to learn more about who they are and where they come from through learning their pepeha. As a gift to them and to you as their whānau, each child received their own pepeha pukapuka to continue this journey at home. Inside, there is also a special section where whānau can add memories as your tamariki grow, helping them build a strong sense of identity and belonging.
We are truly grateful to every whānau for trusting us to care for your tamariki. Thank you for being part of our village and for another wonderful year of memories and learning. 💛✨
Also a very big thank you for all the shared kai! For those who were unable to make it today we missed you!
