Many thanks to those parents and staff members who have put their names forward for our upcoming Board of Trustees election. We have received 7 parent nominations to fill the 5 seats available so we will need to hold an election. Voting forms will be sent home this Wednesday. Voting closes on Wednesday 7th September at 4pm.

There is a lot of illness around at the moment along with Covid cases. If your child is unwell, please keep them home to rest and recover. You will need to inform us of their absence and this can be done either by phone, text (021 026 34461), Skool Loop, email, or via our website.

Our four teams had a sensational day of Rippa Rugby on Wednesday last week in Ngatea. All teams steadily improved throughout the day and we saw great sportsmanship displayed. A huge thank you to all those that helped transport our 42 players and an even bigger thank you to Ngaio Hodson for managing the Year 7 & 8 Boys Team, Jess Morgan for managing the Year 7 & 8 Girls Team, Lisa Dsouza for managing the Year 5 & 6 Boys Team and Mel Krishna for managing the Year 5 & 6 Girls Team.
