Te Puni School

Last Friday we held our Termly Whakamihi Ceremony. This is a special time for us to welcome our new students and their whānau into our Te Puni whānau. Our tamariki sang strongly and proudly, to welcome our new students.

Tēnā koutou katoa ki ngā tauira hou.

Te Puni's extraordinary Kapa Haka Group had the pleasure of performing for the residents of Enliven - Longview Home this week. After their performance, tamariki had the opportunity to meet and speak with the residents. Together, they shared some biscuits and lemonade thanks to Enliven.

PIES! Our Pie fundraiser is live from today. Pies are baked to order for us by Centa bakery just down the road off Oxford street. Pies are high quality and delicious, and a great way to warm up in this wintery weather.
Every order helps us fundraise for Kapa Haka uniforms so our performers feel proud and connected! Or, if you prefer not to order pies but want to support us, there is a donation option available on the orders page.
Orders close 6th August, and pick up is 20th August. To order you can either:

And for dessert, choose from the sweet range: Apricot; Apple; Caramel; Lemon flan

Winter has definitely shown up for today 🥶

We have had a wonderful start to Term 3 at Te Puni. It's been wonderful to see tamariki are well rested and ready to take on the term!

Last term Rātā presented an amazing Celebration of Learning, where they showcased some of their learning and work from Term 2, check it out. 👇

Kia ora e te whānau,

All Tamariki are safe, warm and dry inside their classrooms. Te Puni School will remain open for instruction, and finish at 3pm as usual. We do have some surface flooding on the grounds so please take care if you are walking through.

For those who were wanting to purchase chocolates today, unfortunately this has been postponed until next Friday 3rd July.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend

That’s a wrap on our first week of swimming! Tamariki have done amazingly this week, especially with keeping their energy up for class after swimming, what a terrific display of manawaroa! You should all be very proud of yourselves, he mahi rawe. 🎉

Whānau, please remember to bring your togs and towel again next week for swimming, Monday-Thursday.

Enrolments open for Term 3, both in and out of zone spaces available!

Tawhai presented an amazing Celebration of Learning this morning. They showcased what they have learned about the history of schools during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s eras. We were treated to a play about a game called marbles that was widely popular during the 70s. Tawhai also did a brilliant reenactment of the classic duck song, and performed the Samoan Sasa. Mahi pai Tawhai, you should all be very proud!

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.
