Matariki Celebration Week has been great so far. Thank you to Matua Troy and the team of staff and tamariki for the wonderful kai day and celebrations for Matariki. It was great to see a few family members and whānau come along too. A reminder that this Friday is a public holiday and the school will be closed. 
Our Whole School assembly is hosted on Thursday 19th June this week by Te Whānau Whāriki in the school hall at 9.20am. Nau mai, haere mai!
Please note: Kura will be closed on Friday 20th June for the Matariki public holiday.

Learning Conversations will be taking place Tuesday 24th June (2:00pm to 7:00pm) and Wednesday 25th June (2:00pm to 5:00pm). Please note a few of our junior teachers have professional learning on the 24th June so will be starting their Learning Conversations from 3.00pm. You will be allocated a 15 minute time slot. Please be on time for your appointment. You are able to book times for the Learning Conversations online at School Learning Conversations Link. The school code is 3tkkn.

Bookings opened on Wednesday 28th May at 3.00pm. If you book in this way you are more likely to get your preferred time. If you cannot book online please contact the school office at [email protected] or phone 376 1091 and we can help support the organisation.
Bookings close on Thursday 19th June at 4.00pm. Our Mid Year Reports will form part of the learning conversations at the conferences. Please bring this report and your child with you to be part of this conversation. They will be coming home on Monday 23rd June. 

Please note: School will close at 1:00pm on both Tuesday 24th June and Wednesday 25th June. There will be some supervision provided for those children who can not be picked up at 1:00pm. They must be picked up by 3.00pm. We hope to see everyone at one of our evenings.

Lateness
If your child is arriving late to school, please make sure to come through the school office first. You will need to sign them in using the tablet and collect a late pass for them to take to their classroom teacher. This process ensures our attendance records are accurate and that your child is safely accounted for. It’s important that a parent or caregiver accompanies the child into the office when they are late. Thank you for your support in helping us keep our tamariki safe and our records up to date.
