We welcome all parents to our Matariki Assembly at 10am on Monday 1st July. Come celebrate Matariki and see our senior and junior Kapa Haka group Te Ara Hou perform.

This is a time to remember those who have passed and to celebrate the present.

As part of Tikanga protocol we invite parents to a shared morning tea in their children’s classrooms. Please bring a plate. (A reminder that we have students with allergies please check with the classroom teacher if this affects their classroom)

We look forward to seeing you join us in the celebrations.

We have completed our lock down drill and all students, staff and persons on-site are safely accounted for.  Everyone did extremely well and responded to instructions.  A notice will be going out to parents/caregivers tonight to provide some more information about our emergency lock down procedures.

I would like to personally thank you for your support while we conduct these practices and for respecting our procedures for emergency response.

Kind regards – Raj Dullabh, Principal
