THIS WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
Proverbs 17:28
Principles Notice
Tena koutou whanau ma – warm greetings to everyone.
Firstly a big ‘THANK YOU’ to whanau for working with us to get the ‘little things’ right. We are noticing a real difference in the school in terms of unity and peace. The students are looking great in their uniforms which is commendable.
We are well into the learning programmes now with senior courses and pathways firmed up. As always, if there are changes in the interests our students have, please let us know in case that impacts their course selections.
As indicated previously, we are working on a new format for our Parent Reports. We have a training session next week to have the format set up on our school/parent portal (Kamar) and we hope to be able to send out the first report to parents in Week 6, March 7th. If there are any major hiccups this may get pushed out to the 14th.
Coming up on March 3rd 5:30pm to 6:30pm is a Whanau afternoon/evening event where parents and whanau are invited in to the school to connect with teachers and also to hear a little about what is taking place at the moment – please mark this date in your calendars and come along to connect up and fellowship with one another.
Acts 2:42 ESV
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Nga mihi mahana

WHAT ARE ATTENDANCE DUES?
The Ministry of Education does not fund building related costs at our School. Attendance Dues are only used to pay for building related costs. They can not be used for any other purposes. Paying Attendance Dues is a condition of enrolment for all students attending our School. Attendance Dues are compulsory – there is a legal requirement for parents and caregivers to pay Attendance Dues under the Education and Training Act 2020. They are not a donation.
