Mahana School

What a wonderful start to Term 3 Mahana has had! Kicking off with our survival theme, tamariki have been designing and building shelters, learning new survival skills and researching incredible survival stories like Shackleton, the Tongan Castaways, and more.
We have loved our first House of Science kit, all about Antarctica!
Manawanui class put on a fantastic Market Day, full of wonderful goodies and talented crafts.
We have also started hockey skills with Daniel from Sport Tasman, it is great learning new skills.
Our two Jump Jam teams have been working hard to learn their routines, getting ready for their competition, they are amazing!
So many fun opportunities, and it is only week 3!

Do you know or have a child turning 5 soon?
We'd love to hear from you!
Come along with your whānau and see what Mahana School has to offer. New enrolments are always welcome.
Drop in, ask questions, meet our team, and discover why Mahana could be the perfect fit for your tamariki.
We look forward to hearing from you!

The Vintage Car Rally visiting Mahana! What an amazing assortment of vintage cars. The place was humming with tamariki asking questions and a few even getting to sit inside and beep the horns!

What a great way to start off the school week. Congratulations to Caroline and Lucy who both got up at 5am the day after the Fiesta to participate in the Weetbix Tryathlon. Tu meke!
Also to our amazing stars of the week for taking out the Principal Awards. We appreciate your commitment to learning and the strong values you show at Mahana!

These were left behind after the fiesta. If they're yours please drop in to the office.

Pony rides, a petting zoo and much much more!

Principal Awards for Wiki 4. We want to acknowledge the strong work ethic and leadership that these Rangitira are showing throughout the kura. Tino pai!

More amazing tamariki receiving a Principal's award for Wiki 3!
It's wonderful seeing a range of values celebrated across the kura from rangatiratanga through to ako. Miharo!

It was truly wonderful for our community to meet our new staff members this week and hear about the inspired direction the school will be taking. There is a genuine buzz of excitement in the air as we look toward our future together.

We are especially fortunate to have Sonia joining us as Principal and Lisa as our new Administrator.

Having Sonia’s wealth of experience, passion, and creative leadership at the helm is exactly what Mahana needs for this next chapter. Paired with Lisa’s support in the office, we are off to a fantastic start.
