We devise individual program-mes to support maximum learning where necessary. Please contact us if you need any further assistance - we would love to hear from you. Ake Ake Kia Kaha. 
13 February 2026 - From the Principal, Jono Hay
Tēnā koutou katoa, Tēnei te mihi atu ki a koutou. Welcome back to the 2026 school year. It has been great to see all of our students back at school. In particular, welcome to all of our new students and staff. We started the year with a pōwhiri to welcome our new staff and students. It was a fantastic event and very well attended. It has been a great start and I look forward to the year ahead as we work in partnership with whānau to support the learning goals of our students. Nau mai, haere mai to our new staff Welcome to our new staff for 2026. They are Mr Dan Hanson, Ms Saramah Chacko, Mrs Hannah Hay, Mr Mac Bowmar and Miss Marina Profendiner. We are very fortunate to have such dedicated, experienced and skilled practitioners joining the staff. Year 7 & 8 whānau BBQ The whānau BBQ is an opportunity to grow the home, school, student partnership by making connections and developing relationships. I hope to see you on Tuesday 17th February, outside the library from 5 - 6:30pm. Attendance Regular attendance at school is critically important for setting students up to succeed in education. Our expectation is that each student's attendance is greater than 90%. If a student misses one day of school every two weeks, they miss more than a whole year of school by 16 years of age. As a parent or caregiver, you, alongside our school, play a key role in building strong habits of regular school attendance. All students are legally required to attend school every day and it is a shared responsibility to make sure students attend and engage in learning from when they first start school. You need to let the school know if your child is going to be absent or intends to be absent for a portion of the school term for whatever reason, like a tangi or medical procedure. If you are finding it hard to get your child to school, please talk with us so we can work together. Our school is committed to supporting your child to attend school. Please feel free to get in contact if you have any questions, concerns or positive feedback. I can be contacted by email [email protected], through the office or on 027 416 5232 Ake ake kia kaha Jono Hay |
