🌿 Ngahere Boardwalk Reopening 🌿

Over the past few weeks, our Ngahere Boardwalk has been undergoing an exciting upgrade. Tamariki have been unable to use this special space while the mahi has been underway.

We’re excited to share that the upgrade is now complete! Prior to re-opening the Boardwalk to everyone we will be holding a blessing ceremony on Tuesday, 18 August at 9.15am.

We invite all whaanau to attend and share this special occasion with us.

Following this, the Ngahere Boardwalk will officially reopen for our tamariki to enjoy once again.

Ngaa mihi,

šŸ“£ Maeroa Intermediate Open Night , Tonight!!

A huge mihi to the team from Maeroa Intermediate School for visiting our Year 6 students last week. Our tamariki really enjoyed the opportunity to see old friends and learn more about what intermediate has to offer.

If your child is starting intermediate next year, we encourage you to attend Maeroa Intermediate School's open night tonight. It's a fantastic opportunity to explore the school, meet the staff, ask questions and help your child become familiar with their new learning environment.
