I will be back around the school by Monday 16th January and the office will be fully open from Thursday 27th January

Reports 

Today, students will be given  their reports to take home. 

Please contact the office, if you do  not receive your child’s report or if you wish to receive additional copies. 

We hope that you will share the report with your child as it is a summary of their wonderful learning for 2011. 

We have made some changes to our  report format as we continue to try to communicate more effectively with you.

Kia ora and welcome to Carl who joins his brother and sister and Richard and their whānau/families.

People Information

There will be a few minor role changes to staffing on 2012.

Gemma Dawson is being released from her class to train in Reading Recovery. She will also be working in Ako 7 and Ako 8.

Shelley Vaile is taking a year’s leave of absence, though we will still see her around as a reliever and to do her amazing Mathematics teaching in our extension programme. Mary Bluck will be teaching full time in Ako 8.

Rachel Shearer is teaching in Ako 7 and Hannah Newell will be teaching in Ako 14 with our fourth Year 3/4 class. We welcome Rita Urry back from her Royal Society Science Fellowship.

We plan to open another New Entrant class later in the year. I am negotiating with the Ministry of Education for another classroom.  

Thank you!

Thank you for another amazing and busy year! 

The greatest value-virtue you have given us is love-aroha, you have supported us and surrounded us with your goodwill and loyalty.  You all have made this school what it is today - a community of caring people who are working  together to develop the best possible citizens of Aotearoa-New Zealand. 

What a responsibility and privilege we have. We are so glad you are all on this awesome journey with us. Thank you. 

I hope you have a blessed Christmas and a holiday full of love, joy and peace. 

Arohanui, Janice J
