Kia Ora Kākano Whanau

Welcome to week 6!! Well done on making it through lockdown so far. Thank you so

much for all of your support during this time. It is so important to us, the teachers, that

you are all well and safe at home. We are not judging families on how much school work

they are getting done during these uncertain times.


Please make sure to fill in this survey by Monday (30th August) 9AM. 

Link to survey: https://www.smore.com/h16yb-covid-level-3-update?ref=email

Teachers will be following up with families who have not completed it by then. The survey

gives us important information on who needs to be at school during Level 3.


Mr James has created a virtual assembly to make up for the assembly we didn’t share

together on Friday, as we usually do during normal school. Click the link below to watch

the assembly and find out who the superkids are this week!!!

Here is our week 5 Virtual Assembly. It is great to celebrate the achievements and hard

work of our tamariki.

All of the classes have settled well with their new teachers and we, the teachers, have loved getting to know all of the children and families. Thank you for your support during this term with various school and classroom events. Take a look at some of the photos from last week: We were lucky to Senior Constable Regan in to talk to the children about safety in the car.

On Wednesday, some children will be selected to go to a Principal’s morning tea. There are only 3 children per class chosen each term. It is ...
