Following the postponement of last week’s wānanga due to staff and student illness, our rescheduled wānanga will be taking place tomorrow and Friday (13th – 14th of August) at the marae. The tamariki have had plenty of reminders throughout the week, and all arrangements remain the same as previous wānanga.

Pick-up:

Drop-off & Pick-up Location (Maxwell’s Line): To help maintain a smooth traffic flow and ensure everyone’s safety, please drop off and collect your tamariki at the front gate on Maxwell’s Line only.

Camp Update

Wed May 27 06:43pm

Everone who applied for a place on camp week should have been contacted by (primary caregiver) email now with an offer of a place. We understand and acknowledge that some of our students will be disappointed that they missed out on their first choice . But we are confident that everyone was able to be offered one of their back-up choices, or they have been consulted and offered a range of alternatives. If you have not received an email either today or last Friday, please check your junk mail (emails were sent in bulk) then contact camp co-ordinator Jon Clark.
