Year 8 Crossing Postponed

Year 8 families:

As indicated yesterday we are now in the position that we need to postpone the Crossing planned for Monday. 
This event we want all to be able to experience as a group. 
 
I will work out another date that will suit and we will work from there. 
Sorry for the inconvenience but in light of the current covid situation it think it is best to give everyone the chance to complete the trek together.

New Appointment

Dear parents and caregivers,

 

It is exciting that we can announce we have been able to appoint TeeJay Campbell to the position of Deputy Principal and Classroom Teacher of Room 1. 

This position will start at the beginning of term 2. TeeJay comes to us from teaching for the past few years at Ross Intermediate, Palmerston North. He has a passion for Maths, Sport and Te Ah Māori and is looking forward to utlising our amazing environment to inspire learners. 

It is exciting that we can have this in place for the start of term 2 and we look forward to having Mr Campbell join our team.

Over the past 12 months we have been working with KiwiSchools to fix some of the errors we are having with the school phone alerts system. 

We have been advised by KiwiSchools that you go to the App/Play store and update the app to get the most out of the latest functionality. An update should be all that is required, but if people are still facing any issues then they should uninstall and reinstall the app.

We apologise for any inconvenience and hopefully this will remedy any issues.
