It is with much sadness that we learnt of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II at the end of last week. The
government are considering a public holiday to pay our respects which will be announced shortly. On Monday 19th September we will be planting a memorial tree on our school field.

At the end of this week we have our mid-term break which means Moanataiari School will be closed from Friday 26th August to Monday 29th August. School will resume on Tuesday 30th August. We hope you all take this opportunity to spend some family time together and refresh, ready for the rest of the term.

Many thanks to those parents and staff members who have put their names forward for our upcoming Board of Trustees election.
