Principal's News Term 1, Week 5, 27/2/26

Today, we hosted our first student-led class assembly for 2026, and what a fantastic start it was!

Assemblies are a significant for our tamariki. They provide a unique opportunity for each class to perform for the entire school and their whānau.

A huge "well done" to Rūma Whā for their incredible street art-inspired assembly today. The creativity and energy you shared with us was a brilliant way to kick off our class assembly schedule for the year!

Literacy and Mathematics Curriculum Evening

This Thursday night, we will explore the significant updates occurring across our curriculum. We will cover a lot of ground, including new approaches to teaching, assessment, expectations, and how we track student progress. With so many changes underway, this is a valuable opportunity to hear firsthand how we are supporting your child’s learning. I hope to see you there!
