Matariki Celebration - Term 2

 Tēnā koutou katoa

Nāu mai mihi mai to all Parents, Whānau and Caregivers 

Here we are at the beginning of week 5 of term 2 and it almost seems the school year has only just begun. Term 1 was so disrupted by the various effects of Covid across our whole school community that many of the normal activities running in term 1 never happened. It’s easy to forget we have all been living in highly unusual circumstances for 2 years and nothing is as it was.

Our priority as always is to focus on the wellbeing of the children, and above all else this has been the focus of the first few weeks of this term. It’s great to have had so many return to school in term 2 and there is some sense of a return to normality. Long may it last. 

This year the Matariki celebration becomes embedded in our culture as a national holiday. We are very excited to be preparing for this significant school community event to acknowledge this change. We hope you will all join us. Information has been shared in HERO, on our Facebook page and sent in hard copy.
