A huge thank you to Wilford whānau David and Kristal at Wellington Signs for looking after the gala signs again. Keep an eye out for them around town as we get closer to gala day!

We’re looking forward to seeing what cute crochet In Stitches will have at the gala! In the meantime you can check them out on Instagram

Have you heard?! The Te Kura o Wilford Quiz Night is making its return on Friday 6 September and we’re excited! Planning is well underway, but we need your help.

RAFFLES AND AUCTIONS: Can you, your whanau or someone you know donate an item for our raffles and auctions? This could be anything from a hamper, vouchers to a nights accommodation in a hotel!

If you'd like to support by donating something, we'd love to hear from you! Reach out on [email protected].

One of the Te Kura o Wilford Board’s four goals that make up our Mahere Rautaki (Strategic Plan) 2024 - 2025 is to improve our physical environment so that learning and play are supported by quality facilities that reflect pride in our kura.

We are now seeking community and tamariki thoughts, ideas, and feedback on the sorts of things you would like to see in our outdoor playscapes. So many in our wider community use our outdoor spaces so we are keen to hear your thoughts.

We want your thoughts and ideas to help us develop a master plan which will show all of the elements that we need in our outdoor playspaces and allow us to break our vision for the future into achievable smaller steps. Our playscape development needs to be fit for purpose both for tamariki in our school now as well as those that will be here over the next 20 -30 years.

Ākonga will also get opportunities to contribute their thoughts and ideas about what they think makes a great playground.

Over the coming weeks in the school holidays, make sure you get out and about with your whānau and research what makes different playspaces so great. Then tell us what you think. Send your thoughts, ideas, and pictures through to [email protected].

REMINDER!! The Kaiwhakangao Fundraising Group and some lovely helpers will be selling lemonade ice blocks outside the hall from 3pm this Friday.

Ice blocks will be sold for $1 each and funds raised will be split between Ngā Rangatahi EOTC and Ngā Tupuranga camp.

Cash sales on the day but if you would like to preorder, please transfer payment by 5pm Thursday 4 July to Kaiwhakangao Fundraising Account 12-3478-0003132-01 referencing Ice Blocks and the name and room number for your tamariki.
