Both our volleyball and cricket teams showed great commitment and teamwork, and we are incredibly proud of the way they played and supported one another. On Wednesday evening, the talent of our junior students was well and truly on display at our Junior Arts Showcase. From creative dance and comical drama to polished musical performances, our students shone on stage. Alongside this, the exhibition of art and technology work highlighted the creativity and skill that is developing across these learning areas. Thank you to all the students and staff whose hard work created such a successful event. You will also find in this newsletter a shared statement from our local Kāhui Ako. Our network of 12 schools has collectively outlined our continued commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi as one of the guiding foundations for our work with learners, whānau, and communities. This statement reaffirms long-held values that help shape the relationships, aspirations, and direction across our schools.

Our individual school boards acknowledge the government’s recent amendment to the Education and Training Act 2020, removing the requirement for school boards to “give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.” We are in support of a reversal of this amendment to the Act.
