Tēnā koutou e te whānau,
Despite a few weather challenges this term, students continue to make the most of their learning opportunities while at school. They have also represented our school with pride on many occasions outside of school - on the sporting fields and courts, at cultural events and at external learning programmes. It is encouraging to see our students rise to the many challenges that present themselves these days. It is also great to see the support from home, which is essential to ensure we all work together to provide our children with every opportunity to succeed in their chosen areas of interest.
One of the topics we focused on this term as a school was increasing our knowledge and understanding of Puanga and Matariki. The learning was spread across the curriculum, and teachers and students weaved many learning strands into projects and displays for this kaupapa. The school hall was adorned with student work, and many whānau came into school to celebrate with us on the last day of term. As always, it is great to have whānau join with us on these special occasions.
As winter begins to bite, we are aware that some of our students may become ill. If this is the case, please keep them at home until they are well before they return to school. We also have staff who may need to remain at home due to illness, so if you know of any relief teachers who are able to support us during these times, please get in touch with the main office. We are always looking at strengthening our pool of relief teachers and teachers in general.
To all our students and staff, please take care over the holidays and have a safe and enjoyable rest.
Ngā mihi nui,
Jack Anderson
