Week 1 Principal's news
By Beth Downie | Posted: Monday July 17, 2023
Matariki hunga nui Matariki, the gatherer of people.
We had a very special start to term 3 with our Kaikorai whānau gathering on Wednesday night.
Coming together as a community to share our learning from the past term and celebrate our successes was powerful. Our Kaikorai kids were proud of their mahi and enjoyed showing their whānau their term two space creations. There certainly was a buzz in the air at the picnic, and it was great to see such a large turnout; thank you for coming along and sharing in the Matariki celebration.
We have a busy week next week with our annual school cross country (click the link) on Tuesday, where the whole school participates in a fun run. Please read the article to find out the times and arrangements. We hope to see you down at Bishopscourt Ground to cheer on our runners.
The Parents' Group disco (click the link) is on Wednesday evening. Thank you for supporting this fundraiser for our school and to the Parent's Group for their efforts in organising.
