Spring has arrived and already we are starting to feel the warmer weather. I really enjoy springtime as nature springs back into life after the cold winter. As nature starts to renew itself, for many, spring can also be a symbol of new beginnings. Spring can be a time where we start heading back to the beach and our beaches sure looked glorious on the weekend. That is one thing I really do love about being home again in Whangarei ~ how easy it is to access our beautiful beaches! I always enjoy seeing whānau.
On Friday, our kura participated in the Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day fundraising event. I would like to thank you all very much for supporting this important fundraiser. We raised $383.40 which is a fantastic effort!! We can all feel super proud that the money we have raised will help fund the Cancer Society’s support services, cancer prevention programmes, and life-saving research. A huge thank you to Whaea Kitty who organised this day for us. We had a great day here with lots of Daffodil Day activities for our tamariki and special tributes and acknowledgements for those of us who have had loved ones affected by cancer. Whaea Kitty also helped to put on a special yellow themed morning tea for staff and her yellow curry and yellow pineapple cheesecake were scrumptiously delicious!!
At the end of this week, I will be travelling abroad to visit some of our fellow KiVa schools to learn more about what education looks like in their settings. I would like to thank and acknowledge our education union (NZEI) New Zealand Educational Institute who have funded this professional development opportunity for principals in New Zealand. I will miss our tamariki and kura while I am away and I look forward to seeing everyone again when I return at the end of the term.
