Principal's Message
|
Nau mai, haere mai - welcome back to Term 2.
|
It was great to walk through the school on Wednesday morning and feel the very real buzz that exists in our school. Excited faces and lots of chatter about what happened over the break and what’s on this term. It was particularly fun to meet our brand new 5 year olds who handled their first day with huge smiles!
|
Our school community is built on a foundation of trust, and we look forward to continuing to work together to create a safe and supportive environment for all our students. Thank you for entrusting us with your children's education. We take that responsibility seriously and are committed to providing them with the very best opportunities for success.
|
This term promises to be an exciting one, filled with new opportunities for learning and growth. It is also a very busy one and so we implore you to stay connected by reading our weekly newsletter, your child’s weekly home note and downloading our apps HERO and SchoolAppNZ.
