Kia ora e te whānau,

Welcome back to school for Term 3! I hope you all had a wonderful, restful winter break and managed to stay warm and dry. It is fantastic to see our tamariki returning with big smiles, full of energy, and ready for another action-packed term of learning and growth.

A Warm Welcome to Our New Faces

First and foremost, I want to extend a huge, warm Whangārei Primary School welcome to all of our new students, their families, and the new teaching staff joining our team this term. We are absolutely thrilled to have you join our school community.

To officially welcome everyone, we will be holding a whole-school Pōwhiri this week:

• When: Thursday 23 July at 10:30 a.m.
• Where: Under the covered area
• Who: All parents and whānau are warmly invited to attend, especially the families of our new students and staff.
  We would love for you to join us as we come together to welcome the newest members of our school family.

What’s Coming Up in Term 3

We have a vibrant and busy term ahead, packed with opportunities for our students to shine, learn, and challenge themselves. Here are a few key highlights to put on your calendar:

• Cultural Celebration (Weeks 1–3): For the first few weeks of the term, our entire school will be diving into a school-wide Cultural Celebration. As part of their topic learning, each class will be focusing on a specific country or culture, exploring its traditions, history, and arts.
• Maths Week (Week 4): Get ready for some brain-teasing fun! Week 4 is Maths Week, where we will be celebrating all things mathematics with engaging activities and challenges across the school.
• WPS Cross Country: Lace up those running shoes! Our annual school Cross Country will take place on Friday 21 August. More details on times and how you can come along to cheer on our runners will be sent out closer to the date.
• "Keeping Ourselves Safe" Programme: This term, we will be running the Keeping Ourselves Safe programme. This is a valuable personal safety programme facilitated in partnership with our local NZ Police, designed to give students the skills they need to stay safe in a range of situations.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support, partnership, and dedication to making Whangārei Primary School such a wonderful place to learn. Our door is always open, so please feel free to pop in for a chat.

Let’s make it a fantastic Term 3!
