Our Newsletter: Term 2, Week 1

Kia ora koutou katoa,

Welcome back to school! I hope you and your whānau had a restful and refreshing Easter break. It is wonderful to see our tamariki returning with big smiles, ready to dive into another term of growth and discovery.

Term 2 is traditionally a time of great progress. With the swimming pool now closed for the season, our daily schedule is less disrupted, allowing us to really consolidate our learning. This is the "settling in" term where we see the hard work from Term 1 truly begin to click for our students. We are looking forward to a focused and productive few months ahead.

 
Upcoming School Events

We have two very important gatherings in the coming weeks and we would love to see you there:

• Whole School Pōwhiri: Friday, 24 April at 10:30 a.m. We will be formally welcoming all our new students and their whānau into the Whangārei Primary School family. This is a special time of connection, and everyone is welcome to attend and support our newcomers.
• ANZAC Assembly: Tuesday, 28 April at 10:00 a.m. Please join us as we gather to commemorate ANZAC Day. This assembly is a significant moment for our school to reflect on history, service, and peace.
   

The Power of Presence: Attendance Matters

As we move into this period of consolidated learning, I want to emphasize the vital importance of regular attendance. Every day at school provides building blocks for your child's future. It might not seem like much at the time, but the numbers tell a different story:

Did you know? Missing just one day of school a week adds up to nearly an entire term of lost learning over the course of a school year.

When students miss school, they don’t just miss the lesson of the day; they miss the social connections and the momentum that makes learning feel easy and fun. Let’s work together to ensure our tamariki are here, on time, and ready to learn every day.

Ngā mihi nui,

Matua Danny Tumuaki Whangārei Primary School
