Principal's Weekly Message
Kia Ora Whanau,
It has been another busy and exciting week at our kura. On Monday we held our annual Open Day and Open Evening for students who will be joining us in 2026, along with their whānau. It was wonderful to see so many new faces and begin building those connections. All sessions were really well supported, and we thank those whānau who were able to attend.
Enrolments for 2026 are now in full swing, with interviews available after school through to the end of the term and also in Week One next term. Enrolments close on October 9th, and we ask any new whānau to please book an interview.
Next week also sees Rooms 4 and 24 from Te Whānau o Ōtamakaokao heading away on their camp to Ngaruawahia The programme looks fun, engaging, and full of great opportunities for learning, and we know the students will have a memorable few days. A big thank you to Mrs Burns and Mrs Butler for their organisation and commitment in making this camp happen.
Finally, today we gathered for a special formal assembly to celebrate our most successful-ever AIMS Games. With our biggest-ever team of athletes, the school had a fantastic week of competition, teamwork, and spirit. It was also a highlight to connect with so many of our whānau who were there in Tauranga supporting our athletes – thank you for being part of such a memorable week.
