Tēnā koutou, What a fantastic prizegiving it was on Tuesday night. I enjoyed seeing the school and community celebrating the achievements that our students have made over 2022. I would like to thank the school board, the teaching and support staff, and our students for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. I would also like to thank the school community and the Home and School for their support toward our school. I hope that everybody has a wonderful holiday, and I look forward to seeing students refreshed and back ready for learning in 2023. Merry Christmas and a happy new year, Glenys Hanley Principal News
