Kia ora e te whānau,

I am writing to share an important update regarding our Te Reo Māori and Kapa Haka programmes for Term 4.

Whaea Desirei, our Te Reo Māori teacher, will be taking a term’s leave for personal reasons during Term 4. We wish her all the very best during her time away and look forward to welcoming her back next year.

We are pleased to share that we have secured Florah Weber to replace Whaea Desirei  for the duration of Term 4. Florah brings fantastic energy and expertise to our school, and she will be teaching an alternative programme for the term.

Out of respect for Whaea Desirei and her dedicated leadership in this space, we will not be filling her role as Kapa Haka tutor in her absence. As a result, we will not be holding our annual Kapa Haka Festival at Whangārei Primary School next term. We understand this event is a highlight for many of our students and families, and we appreciate your understanding and support as we make this temporary adjustment.

Thank you for your ongoing support of our school community. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the office.

Ngā mihi nui,

Matua Danny
Principal
