Kia ora tātou

Welcome back everyone. I trust you are refreshed and ready for an action-packed term 4.

Welcome to our new entrants who have started their school lives with us today in Room 4: Amber Game-Ricketts, Harini Patel, Safa Irtiza, Serenity Te Ruki, Emma Quinn and Daniel Whyte.

Welcome also to Senuka Hewa Alankarage in Room 6 and Seneli Hewa Alankarage in Room 5.

It’s great to have you all in our Moanataiari School family. We will be holding a whakatau on Friday 23 October at 1.30pm to officially welcome our new students and their families, and everyone is invited to join us.

Please note that there will be a teacher only day on Tuesday 27 October after Labour Weekend. This means our school will be closed on that day.

Thank you to Thames Organic shop for donating seeds for our garden. These are much appreciated.

We have purchased more native trees for our native garden and our students will be planting these on Thursday to enhance our field area.

Our award winning mural is nearing completion this week, so keep an eye on our front gate area to watch the progress. All of our students have been helping with painting the fish.

David Brock, Principal - Tumuaki
