Kia ora koutou,

It’s hard to believe we’re already nearing the halfway point of our school year! It’s been a busy and rewarding time, with our students working hard in the classroom and throwing themselves into a wide range of extracurricular activities.

A huge shout-out to our amazing sports coaches and managers who have supported inter school events and our netball teams—your time, energy, and encouragement make a real difference for our students.

We’re now heading into the swimming & water safety season, and I want to give a special thank you to Julie Bluck for her outstanding coordination of this important programme. Swimming is such a vital skill, and we’re grateful for the effort that goes into making it successful.

BOT elections are coming up soon. If you’re curious about what’s involved or thinking of putting your name forward, please don’t hesitate to come and have a chat with me or any member of our current Board. We’d love to talk with you.

And finally—have you seen our new room numbers? They look fantastic! A big well done to our students who created them with inspiration from our school murals—you’ve done an amazing job, and they’re a great example of school pride in action.

Ngā mihi nui,
