I really enjoyed being part of Te Rōpū Manawa Kuaka (Migrant Whānau Hui) and our Pasifika Fono. The warmth and engagement between whānau and the school was wonderful to see, and there is already a real sense of excitement building ahead of Cultural Week next week. Today, I spoke with students in year-level assemblies about pride, respect, and the small everyday actions that shape the culture of our school. Many of our students do the right thing every day. They are polite, helpful, respectful, and contribute positively to school life. My message to students has been about making sure these behaviours are not the exception, but the standard we all uphold. Looking after shared spaces, wearing uniform well, speaking respectfully to staff and to each other, saying thank you, and taking responsibility for rubbish are simple actions, but they matter. They show pride in our school and respect for the people who work hard to support our students. As a school community, we want students to understand that belonging comes with responsibility. I have challenged students to keep lifting the standard, look after the spaces they use, and help make respect and pride visible across the school. The King’s Birthday weekend gives everyone a chance to pause and reset, and I look forward to seeing all students back after the long weekend.

On Thursday, 28 May 2026, Eid al-Adha was celebrated in New Zealand, as one of the two most significant religious celebrations in the Islamic calendar. Eid Mubarak to all of our whānau who are celebrating Eid over this period.
