Welcome back, everyone! 🌟 As we step into the final term of the academic year, we are thrilled to welcome new and returning students to our kura. 🎒📚

Kia ora koutou parents, caregivers, students, and staff,

Term 4 is always special and fast-paced! ⚡ Over the coming weeks, we have plenty to look forward to, including:

🎓 Senior Milestones: Celebrating and supporting our senior students as they prepare for end-of-year assessments.

🎨 School-Wide Activities: Engaging opportunities and learning experiences across all levels.

🏆 End-of-Year Celebrations: Recognising the hard work, growth, and achievements of our students.

📅 A Few Friendly Reminders
📌 Teacher-Only Day: Wednesday, 2nd December. No teaching sessions will occur on that day. Your child’s teacher will be in touch if their scheduled session changes.

🏅 School Prize-giving: Monday, 7th December (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM). We are holding this event at multiple locations across the South Island and warmly invite you and your whānau to join us! 🎉

💬 School Evaluation: We are currently working with an evaluation partner to identify what we are doing well and areas for improvement. They will be reaching out to students and whānau this term. We would greatly appreciate a few minutes of your time to share your experiences and help us grow!

🤝 Thank You for Your Partnership
