I hope you all enjoyed your Easter break. This week has been a very short week, but a busy one. Some of our school groups started this week: Kapa Haka, Pasifika as well as Choir and the Enviro group. Encourage your child to get involved in one of these activities. If they have not registered yet and they want to, ensure that you get in touch with your childs classroom teacher.

Making a difference in our community
