Dear Parents and Caregivers
What an incredible past couple of weeks it’s been. Our students had two amazing Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) days, which were a real highlight.
On Wednesday, our students experienced the vital work of the Muriwai Surf Lifesavers, learning about water safety and coastal environments firsthand. The previous Wednesday saw a fascinating Henderson Park Hīkoi, allowing students to connect with local nature and culture.
A huge thank you to the entire teaching staff. The organisation, enthusiasm, and commitment shown on both days were truly outstanding. The feedback on these experiences has been brilliant, and we are so proud of how our students engaged.
Next week, we host our International Morning, where students will take part in activities based around the seven continents, linking into our Global Citizens theme. Following the morning’s activities, we will have a shared lunch for the students. Please remember that while parents won’t be joining us on this occasion, we would greatly appreciate families sending in food for the students to share and celebrate together. Please ensure, as last time, that allergens are clearly labelled.
I’m thrilled to update you on our staffing for next year. We are seeing excellent stability across our teaching teams, and the quality of the teachers we have recruited for 2026 is exceptional. We are bringing in highly skilled educators who will add to our vibrant community both inside and outside the classroom. The continuity, bolstered by fresh talent, ensures our students will continue to receive the best possible learning experiences.
As the weather heats up, please help us keep the students safe and focused. A gentle reminder for students to bring:
- a full water bottle to stay hydrated
- a hat for all outdoor activities
- sunscreen applied before coming to school
And finally, please mark this crucial end-of-year event in your diary:
Prize Giving & End of Year Expo
Thursday, 4 December, 6:00–8:00 pm
This combined celebration is a mandatory event, and we expect all students to attend as we celebrate the year’s achievements.
Have a lovely, relaxing weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather.
Mrs Randles
