Kia ora Whānau,

This week we were delighted to welcome 26 students from Ritsumeikan Keisho Junior High School in Japan, who arrived on Wednesday for a 14-day visit to our kura. A big thank you to the many whānau who have opened their homes to host our visitors - your generosity and care make this experience so special. This annual exchange is always something we look forward to, as it gives us a wonderful opportunity to connect with another culture while proudly sharing our own. The students will be taking part in classes each day, as well as enjoying local day trips to experience our beautiful region.

We also warmly welcome back all our students and whānau for the final term of the year - a busy and exciting one ahead! Over the coming weeks, our Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) Programme will see around 15 class camps heading out for a few days of learning, adventure, and fun. Again these opportunities would not be possible without the amazing support from our whanau who attend to ensure they are engaging and safe for all.

Planning is also well underway for our end-of-year Electives Programme, a much-loved two-day event that gives students a chance to explore new interests and celebrate a year of great learning. Keep an eye out for more details as these are shared with students soon. There’s plenty more to look forward to this term, including our Athletics Sports and the upcoming Cultural Trip to Vanuatu - both sure to be highlights of the term.

It’s shaping up to be a fantastic end to the year, and we thank our students, staff, and whānau for the continued enthusiasm and support that make our kura such a special place to learn and grow.

Ngā mihi nui,

Mike Webster
