Tēnā koutou e te whānau

A big thank you to all who made Shelley’s farewell such a special occasion. I was very proud of our tamariki, their behaviour and singing went to the next level on such a special day. 

We have had lots going on at kura this past week with class trips, PJ day and cluster cross country. 

A special welcome to all our new whānau as this week our second cohort entry of 5 year olds started in Rm 26 and 10.

Just a reminder about parking when dropping off and picking up your tamariki. Please do not pull in on the dotted yellow lines as they are to be kept clear for safety and visibility reasons. 

Enjoy the long weekend everyone with whānau and friends. 

Ngā mihi,

Shelley Craig
