Tena koutou tena koutou tena koutou katoa

Kia ora whanau and welcome back to term 4. Term 4 is always a busy term and goes by very quickly.

Please remember to check the Skool Loop app for notices and updates.

Also remember that this term is report time again. Your child/children will bring home a written report at the end of the year but you can access your child/children’s learning throughout the term using our ‘Spotlight’ platform.

In order to view this we must have your current email address so please make sure the office has your details so we can sign you up.

Toys

We have been having a large number of toys brought to school including Pokemon cards.

Unfortunately we have to ask that they not be brought to school as children are swapping and trading them. This is causing a lot of disruption to learning times as teachers try to sort out the problems which develop.
