Fa’afetai tele lava to all those who supported and were involved in Samoan Language Week last week - staff, tamaiti and our aiga. We are thankful for the work put into the week by our faiaoga from Mua i Malae and of course by our tamaiti. We hope your children learnt some new Samoan words and customs. Well done to all of those tamariki and akomanga who also took part in the competition for the week. Manuia le vaiaso!

Ritimana Matariki Disco - Wednesday 24th June - 6:00pm to 7:00pm - Whole School Event - School Hall
Our PTA and Ritimana Kaunihera Kura - School Council are proud to announce our Ritimana Matariki Disco. This event will take place in our school on Wednesday 24th June from 6:00pm to 7:00pm.
The cost of $10 includes your ticket, a drink, and a slice of pizza. Tickets are now available on Kindo. 
This is a whole school event and parents are to drop off their tamariki to the hall from 5:45pm with their ticket. Please remember to pick up your child promptly at 7:00pm as students will need to leave from the hall with a known adult and will be dismissed from the hall by staff. 
Tickets for the event will be distributed to the child, by the school before the 3:00pm bell on the day of the Disco. This will limit the risk of losing their ticket and ease of entry to the hall in the evening to help alleviate any congestion. 

Our Matariki Disco is for current Te Kura o Ritimana - Richmond Road School students only please. Thank you to our parents and members of our PTA who have gifted us their time so we can make this event happen for our tamariki. Without your support community events such as these would not be possible.
