It is great that we have been able to limit restrictions now with masks and people on site. Although, we have had quite a few staff and children off sick this week, not all covid related. We continue to be vigilant with sanitising and handwashing at our kura to ensure that we are fully staffed and children are in good health. Anyone who continues to wear a mask will be supported to do so.

We are pleased to welcome Loretta Isaia who started this week in Mua i Malae as a learning assistant and also to our new caretakers: Andrew Fisher and Richard Guy. We have sent a pānui on Monday about the classroom move next week. Please refer to this and we will also send a brief reminder about this on Friday afternoon.

Ritimana Carey Park Adventure Camp  - Thank You Whānau
​A special thanks to all of our parents/caregivers and whānau who helped support our tamariki and kaiako at camp this week. We really did experience "Growing Together As One" during this time and without your support events such as these would not be possible. 
Our tamariki can be congratulated on their positive 'give it a go' attitude when approaching challenge and learning through the experience. 
Please find below a link fresh off the press from a video and photo compilation from Jamie Cobel of snapshots/video from our Ritimana Year 5 and 6 Camp.
It really captures the essence of the experience for our tamariki and community who participated and contributed to the overall success of the event. Enjoy whānau.
