Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

We had a wonderful week and Te Wiki o Te reo Māori was a highlight.

Ko te reo Māori ma tātou o te motu.

Ahakoa iti, ākona, kōrerotia te reo Maori ia rā, ia rā.

Me whakanui me ako me whakamahia to tātou reo.

Kia kaha te kōrero i te reo Māori.

Māori language is a part of who we are as a nation. Learn a little, use a little, today and every day. Let’s celebrate, learn and use our language.

The Market Day was an enormous success a mighty $1,984.00 has been raised for the 2026 School Camp. Thank you so much for all the support you gave our students. The quality of the food was incredible, and the games the students created were very innovative. As a staff, we were so proud of our students who set up the market day, sold their goods/games, and did a fantastic clean-up when it was all over. We saw some absolute natural entrepreneurs in the making, generous students who gave money to others to purchase bits and pieces. All of our students learned so much from this opportunity.

Thank you so much for all the support you have given us throughout the term. We are so grateful. Have a well-earned break over the next fortnight. We look forward to seeing all students on Monday, 14th October at 8:40 AM for Term 4. Our students  will need to wear their school summer uniform with a green school hat. Please note we have our Curriculum Day on the 25th October, so there will be no school.

Arohanui,
