Shaping our Kaupapa:

Our first Whānau Hui and Pasifika Hui of the year took place earlier this week.

These events provide a wonderful evening of connection, kōrero and community.

We welcomed both new and familiar whānau and shared our focus for the year ahead as we continue to strengthen relationships with our Māori and Pasifika community, listening to whānau voice, and working together to support our ākonga.

Now in its fifth year, our Whānau Hui continues to grow as a space where whānau and staff help shape the kaupapa together. Our first focus for the year was Raranga – exploring the whakapapa and pūrākau of Pā Harakeke/Kōrari and the connections it holds for our community.

Principal Fiona Barker introduced the key priorities from our Strategic Plan, highlighting our commitment to strong relationships across our kura, supporting students to grow in confidence and positive social connections, and encouraging consistent attendance so every ākonga can thrive.

Ngā mihi to everyone who joined us to begin the year together. We look forward to more hui, learning and connection throughout the year.
