Hi Everyone,

As mentioned in the earlier Principal's Address, below are links to the information sheet for Cohort Entry Letter and the Survey.

We are asking if you could fill it in over the holidays about “cohort entry”, which will affect the way New Entrant children may come into our kura.

Please take the time to read the letter through and digest the information, so that you feel well informed to answer the survey questions.

This survey will run until the end of the second week of Term 2 and will be primarily a digital survey; however, you will be able to access a paper copy from the front office if you require.

When all the results of the survey have been collated and analysed, we will share this data with the parent community by the middle of next term.

Principal’s Address for the End of Term

Kia ora koutou whanau / parents

The final week of the first term is upon us and before you know it we will be breaking for the Easter holidays. Wow! What a busy and exciting first term it has been for all of us. There have been camps for 11 classes to Mount Manaia and Campbell Park, Mangawhai,  Kiwi Tag Rugby for the whole school, swimming almost daily, the Swimming Sports Day, Junior class trips to the Mangroves, a waiata wananga in Te Whare for visiting schools in our Community of Learning, singing in Te Whare, weekly “Ignite” music lessons, S.P.C.A. Dress up day, House identity day, Touch Rugby in schools, lots of staff Professional Learning Development and plenty of students’ learning happening in between all of this. 

Many thanks to all the teachers, teacher aides, support staff, administration and grounds staff for all their hard mahi and commitment to our kura. Our staff really care about the kids, and they all go over and above to ensure their wellbeing and learning needs are met.

You will be receiving an information sheet and a survey to fill in over the holidays about “cohort entry”, which will affect the way New Entrant children may come into our kura. Please take the time to read it through and digest the information, so that you feel well informed to answer the survey questions. This survey will run until the end of the second week of Term 2 and will be primarily a digital survey; however, you will be able to access a paper copy from the front office if you require. When all the results of the survey have been collated and analysed, we will share this data with the parent community by the middle of next term. 

I trust you will all have a wonderful break over Easter and return next term fully refreshed.
