Tēnā koutou katoa e te whānau,
As we head into the final two weeks of the school term, the energy at Moanataiari School remains high despite the autumn chill in the mornings. It is a busy and exciting time for our kura, and I am constantly impressed by the dedication of our staff and the enthusiasm of our ākonga.
