Kia ora whānau,

Hope you are keeping warm and healthy as the weather shifts and settles in.  We are experiencing a slightly higher number of winter illnesses creeping in, but are doing our best to manage this onsite, and keep our ākonga updated through Google Classroom if they are at home sick or recovering.

The end of Trimester 1 is upon us, and we have an action-packed fortnight ahead for our ākonga and whānau! 

It is essential all students attend school as normal as all these activities are part of our regular teaching and learning program.
