Tena koutou tena koutou tena koutou katoa
We come to the end of another busy year in our kura.
Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to your child/children’s learning.
At this time of year we usually celebrate together with our students and whanau at our prizegiving.
This year unfortunately we need to do things a little differently. Each team will have their own prizegiving eg Junior, Middles, Seniors which will be live streamed and the link for this will be sent out on Friday.
This is to ensure that we comply with the current guidelines that have been set for us.
If your child receives an award their photo will be taken with the award and the photo will be sent home at the end of the day.

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.
