Attendance continues to be a key focus for our school. We know that regular attendance has a direct impact on learning, well-being, friendships, and achievement. Every day at school matters, and we appreciate the efforts our whānau make to support strong attendance habits.

Last week was a very successful one for our kura, with some fantastic achievements from our tamariki. Our Year 7 and 8 EPro8 team placed third, and our Year 5 and 6 team came first equal in the Thames–Coromandel–Hauraki event—an outstanding result, especially in their first time competing. We wish both teams all the very best as they head to Hamilton for the regional semi-finals. We are proud of the way they showed manawaroa and tino pai rawa in their efforts.
