Kia ora whānau,

We have our final school assembly for the term this Friday 19th June, starting at 9:35am. This will be run by Room 8.

Nau mai haere mai, all are welcome! 😁

This Friday, we are supporting Life Education by wearing something yellow. Please bring a gold coin donation to support Harold and all the great work he does in our community.

It is Samoan Lanaguage Week next week. We welcome whanau to join us for our events throughout the week.

This Friday is Pink Shirt day. Looking forward to seeing you all in pink.

Today we all participated in an ANZAC ceremony where we remembered all the brave men and woman that have fought for our country.

Hope everyone has a great long weekend.

Today we had fun dressing up as our favourite book character, for World Book Day.
