 Kia Ora all.


A big thank you to all of you for your support during these level 2 times. You are all brilliant. Thanks for following the rules during drop offs and pick ups by waiting outside the school grounds. Again, you should feel very proud of your we people. They are so resilient and come in beautifully each morning. If you need to contact Lynley or Tina we are always available by email or you can phone the office to pass on a message. By following the level 2 rules now we are doing our part to get back to level 1 sooner.

Term 4 - Week 3

 Kia Ora families. Thank you so much for your support and understanding as we moved into our junior  Ngā Puna space at the end of last week. Yet again the resilience of our children and willingness from them to accept change is just outstanding. You should feel very proud of them all. We had a wonderful day in our new setting today. It was lovely to re connect with friends from the beginning of the year and with our other Junior teachers.   Our children walked through our lovely new building today to make connections with things that are the 'same' and things that are 'different'. The general consensus was people are the same, places are different! They did so well.  This Friday the 30th of October is our offical opening of our new school with ribbon cutting and all! It starts at 1:30 pm. You are welcome to take your child home early after this event. See the note below for more info. Also below is a copy of the note sent home today. Have a lovely short week all.

Picnic at Edgar Macintosh Park tomorrow? (Friday the 18th) - Message from a parent.

  Kia ora koutou, Please see a lovely invitation for a get together after the assembly tomorrow. Unfortunately the teachers can’t attend as we still have to be ‘at school’ til 3!! Thank you so much to the parents who had this idea  a couple of nga Puna mums are going to have a picnic and paddle at Edgar Macintosh park tomorrow following the final assembly. All welcome. Would you consider sending a message to the nga Puna parents for anyone that is keen? I thought it might be a nice opportunity to meet one another and swap numbers for play dates before the holidays etc.  Many thanks Lynley, Fiona, Tina, Sue and Vanessa
