Term 3 Parent Overview 2025

Staffing Update for Term 3
We farewell Filo Tu-Faleupolu as he formally left our kura at the end of term 2. Filo worked in Mua i Malae and was an integral member of our staff during the past five years at our kura. We’re grateful for the time he spent with us and wish him all the best for the future.
We wish Whaea Isire, from Te Whānau Whāriki, all the best as she begins her maternity leave in Term 3. We look forward to meeting her new pēpi. 
Ngā mihi nui ki a korua Elysia (Lissy) Crossan and Whaea Kat for their mahi in Te Whānau Whāriki. Lissy is continuing her studies and travelling in the coming months, we wish her well on her adventures. Whaea Kat is welcoming another new bubba in September.
Nicolas Granjon will be providing teaching support at L’Archipel during Term 3 to assist teachers and help sustain the French language program. Amandine, who has supported us in L'Archipel and across the kura for a number of years, finished at the end of Term 2 and is travelling back to France. We thank her for all she has contributed across our school during her time with us.
Rebecca O’Callaghan will also be supporting our teacher release this term. Rebecca used to work with us, full time a few years ago, and we are grateful she is back at our kura as she knows our staff and children well. Our release teachers are invaluable to ensuring we are able to continue with our usual classroom programmes as teachers are released for Professional Learning and their usual allocated classroom release time (CRT).

Absence, Drop off and Pick up
As we head into Term 3 please be mindful about children taking time off school and if they are to contact the school office if they are absent. Also, please plan to drop children off at 8:30am so they can ease into the school day and then pick up children on time at 3:00pm. Please be aware of traffic around these times and the hundreds of children we have in our school and the two early education centres we have on our grounds as well. We acknowledge that because of our high percentage of families that come from outside the area, there is a need for cars and vehicles to pick up children. If you can please walk from a few roads away if you are able, or send older children to walk to and from school, where possible. Thank you.

We look forward to seeing our tamariki back at kura on Monday. Take care for now.

Ngā mihi
