Principal's Weekly Message
Kia Ora Whanau
It is hard to believe we have reached the final week of the term. The spirit of kindness and community across our Kura is stronger than ever, and it is a true joy to see our students supporting each other, working hard, and simply enjoying being part of this school family. Thank you for your continued partnership from home - it is what truly brings our school to life.
Tuesday was such a special day for our school community as we held our annual School Cross Country. It was wonderful to see our tamariki out on the tracks giving it their absolute all and cheering each other on with real school pride. We want to say a massive thank you to all the whanau who came down to stand on the sidelines - your warm encouragement made all the difference to our runners. Following on from Tuesday, our Cross Country Team travelled to Thornton Domain on Thursday for the EBOP Champs. Our runners absolutely shone, securing a fantastic number of top-ten finishes! Because of their hard work, these students are now heading to the full BOP Championships next week. We are so incredibly proud of them all, and we send a huge thank you to Whaea Beth Long and Matua Ezra Taylor for looking after our team throughout the day.
We also want to say how grateful we are for the great turnout at our Whanau Teacher Hui this week. Sitting down together to catch up, share mid-year reports, and celebrate your child’s progress is what our school family is all about. Thank you so much for coming in and partnering with us to help map out the next steps for Term 3.
Looking ahead to next week, there is a real buzz of excitement around the school as we get ready for our Extravaganza Talent Show! This year's show has a fantastic Kiwiana theme, and it is going to be an amazing celebration of our students' creativity and talent. Our performers and crew have put their whole hearts into rehearsals, and it promises to be an unforgettable highlight. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Mrs Lynne Robb for her wonderful direction and dedication in bringing this together. Tickets are on sale now at the office, so please make sure to grab yours!
Nga Mihi,
