Kia ora koutou

A very warm welcome to our tamariki, families and staff who have joined our school whānau as we start the year.  It is great to have two new teachers join our team,  Miss Sophie Stretch will be working in the senior school and Miss Anna Stevenson is teaching in Year 3.  We have had a super start to the term, connecting and setting up children for their learning for the year.

The Library and Classroom upgrade in the centre of the school is progressing well and should be finished by the end of the term.  While this is adding a little congestion in accessing parts of the school and in particular around the school gates and access at present, we are excited that we will soon have some new and modern learning spaces in this block.

A massive thanks to our families who are supporting their children to walk, scooter and bike to school.  As with all city schools, there is extremely limited parking so it is best to assume that you need to park further away and walk the last bit to school.  It is important that you do not park in the drop off and pick up zones and go to collect or drop off children to and from their class. We also ask that you encourage your child to wait on the footpath while you drive into the lane to pick them up. Thank you for your support as we work to keep all of our children and members of our community safe.

We look forward to working with you in partnership for child's learning over the coming year and hope that you can join us at our Meet the Teacher and School Picnic evening on Thursday 20th February.

Please note that school is closed tomorrow Thursday 6th February for Waitangi Day, but will be open again on Friday.
