From the Principal
Dear parents, caregivers and community,
It’s been a wonderful and busy start to the term, full of special celebrations and events that have brought our school community together.
We've honoured ANZAC Day with a meaningful remembrance, celebrated the important people in our lives with our "Mothers at Heart" event, and acknowledged the invaluable contribution of our support staff—who help keep our school running smoothly every single day. Plus our Junior team were incredibly well supported with their outing to the Maritime museum! These occasions remind us of the strength and heart of our community.

Finally, we extend a warm welcome to Angela Hampton (Monday to Thursday) and Rochelle Cook (Fridays), who are teaching in Room 30 while Ms Hedstrom is on leave for the term. We’re grateful for their expertise and commitment and know that the students are in excellent hands
The Importance of Attendance and Being on Time
Being at school every day—and on time—sets our tamariki up for success. The morning is a vital time for settling in, connecting with classmates, and getting ready for the day’s learning. When students arrive late, they can miss out on important instructions, routines, and the chance to start the day calmly.
Regular attendance builds strong habits, supports learning progress, and helps children feel part of their class community. Of course, if your child is unwell, it’s important they stay home to rest and recover—but every other day really counts.
Let’s work together to make sure our learners are here, ready, and on time—every day.
