🌞 Breakfast Club Helpers Needed! 🥣

Our school Breakfast Club is a great way to help students start the day with a full tummy and a positive start to learning. We're looking for friendly volunteers to help us each morning.

What helpers do:

Prepare and serve breakfast
Chat with and encourage students
Help tidy up afterwards

Time: Approx. 8:15–8:40 am (or even part of this time)

Whether you can help once a week, once a month, or occasionally, we'd love to hear from you. Parents, grandparents, whānau members are all welcome.

If you're interested in helping, please contact the school office or email [email protected]

Thank you for helping us support our tamariki and create a positive start to the school day!

🚸 New 30km/h school zone now in place 🚸

We’re pleased to let our school community know that a 30km/h speed limit is now in place outside our school during drop-off and pick-up times.


This change will help keep our tamariki, whānau and staff safer at our busiest times of day. Slower speeds mean drivers have more time to react and reduce the risk of serious harm.


Please help us keep everyone safe by:
👉 Slowing down
👉 Watching for children
👉 Being patient around crossings
