Te Puni School

Last Friday the Tamariki of Kahikatea presented their Celebration of Learning, they all did an amazing job! 🥰

We hope everyone is having a wonderful King’s Birthday Weekend. This is a friendly reminder that Te Puni School will not be open on Monday 1st June, as it is a public holiday. We look forward to having everyone back at kura on Tuesday.

What a lovely week it has been with the sun out. As always our Tamariki have been busy learning and creating. We have had new additions pop up on our display boards, check out these beautiful works created by our Tamariki.

Mahi pai Rimu for presenting this week’s celebration of learning, you all did a fantastic job! Everyone enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful artwork that Rimu has been working so hard on. Mahi tika ana to all our Principal Award recipients! 🌟

I can smell something cooking... Pancakes!
Today, Rātā had the opportunity to make pancakes, based on their reading and maths learning.

17 senior students represented Te Puni School today at the Hirini Zone Cross Country at Memorial Park. We are so proud of our students - they all ran so well and showed our school values impeccably.
A Huge thank you to our parent help who made our participation possible.

Today at Te Puni School we are taking the day to celebrate and thank our wonderful support staff team. Tracy, Jeanette, Jan, Saori, Mel, Reagan, Shirley, George, Mackenzie, Kerry, Missy-Kate and Gerard, we value and appreciate everything you do for us.

Our beautiful garden gets some TLC each Tuesday from our Tamariki, alongside brilliant volunteers. We are blessed to be able to nurture our whenua within our kura. Our garden is one example of how Tamariki get the opportunity to learn and grow outside of the classroom. 🌳🌻

Kia ora e te whānau,

This is a friendly reminder that this Friday (15th May) is Pink Shirt Day. We encourage all tamariki to wear a pink shirt to help raise awareness to prevent bullying. We won't be accepting donations for this cause at school. However, if you would like to make a donation, you can visit the Pink Shirt Day website.

Kia ora rawa atu.
