Kuratau Kōrero - Welcome to 2025

Welcome to 2025!

We trust you had a restful holiday break with your whānau and are ready for an exciting year ahead. We can’t wait to hear about all the wonderful adventures our tamariki have had over the summer break.

Just in case it has slipped your mind ... school starts back on Monday 3rd February and we are looking forward to seeing everyone back at school.

The school is looking fantastic, with freshly mowed lawns and gardens spruced up for the new term. Our teachers have been busy preparing some exciting, engaging and enriching programmes for our tamariki.

This term, we have an action-packed schedule, with swimming and the triathlon as key sporting highlights. The SwimWell team will join us from Week 2 for two weeks of swimming lessons, providing the opportunity for students to learn essential skills and develop confidence in the water.

We’re also excited to invite you to our Kai and Kōrero | Meet the Teachers Evening on Thursday, 27th February. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, connect with other whānau, and learn about the teaching and learning programme your tamariki will be part of this year.

Don’t forget to check the calendar below for important dates and the rest of this newsletter for a few start-of-term reminders. Let’s make 2025 a fantastic year together! We look forward to working with your and your children.
