Week 7, Principal's News 21/11/25

End of year dates 🎉

We have some busy end-of-year activities approaching whānau - we have Year 5 activity week, Year 6 camp, Christmas disco, reports being issued, an ice cream truck visiting as a thank you from our Parents' Group for all the support with fundraising, and an opportunity for our tamariki to meet their 2026 teacher... a lot is going on (and there will be things I have forgotten too!). Please keep on top of our Sunday Comms on SeeSaw, the newsletter and our Facebook and website to stay up to date with everything!

Stock the Bus 🚌

Thank you, everyone, for your generosity in the 'stock the bus' gift drive. The office was overflowing with goodies that I am sure will go to some very appreciative whānau. I acknowledge that the economic climate is challenging for everyone, so your donations are even more special. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou.

Book box covering superstars 📚

A huge thank you to our volunteers - mums, dads, grandparents and older sisters who spent their time on Friday covering our new book boxes - we appreciate you all!

As always, please don't hesitate to kōrero with me at any time.

Ngā manaakitanga
