Parents and caregivers of any child enrolled at our school are invited to nominate for Parent Representatives on our school Board of Trustees.

There are 5 vacancies

If there are more nominations than the number of vacancies, the election will take place on 07 September 2022.

Parents who are on our electoral roll with an email address registered at the school will this morning have received an email to nominate electronically. Parents who did not receive a nomination email - this is because you have not registered your email address with us. These parents can pick up a paper form from the school office at the start of Term 3 or email the school office to update their details and receive a link to nominate.

Nominations close at noon on Wednesday 3 August.

They were a little bit like Masterchef judges, testing the menu!

A small group of students from all across our kura got to taste some samples and decide what they liked best. Now that's a tasty job for a Friday!

A selection of our students testing out menu options for lunches. Yum!

You will see them promoting the importance of being safe when traveling to school.

Supporting the Let's Go campaign to Be Safe - Be Seen when you are out on your bike or scooter, we wanted to go OTT and get super bright today!

Look at this collection of bright sparks - just some of the many colourful people at school today.

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Bunnings New Plymouth who have donated heaps of stuff to help us with our vege gardens. We received a stack of compost - 20 bags! - plus tools, gloves, a storage seat and more! They are also sending a couple of people with some vegetable and herb plants to help us clear and plant our gardens.

Our volunteer gardeners with some of the great stuff we got from the generous team at Bunnings.
Our volunteer gardeners: Alexander Den-McKay, Tyreece Joines, Pavihi Ekeroma, Liam Wilson, Charles Hardgrave, Kayden Lucinsky, Ari Marlow and Hamu Adams with some of the great stuff we got from the generous team at Bunnings.

These boys saw that the garden beds were overgrown so took it upon themselves to weed them and clean up in their own time. What excellent kaitiaki they are!

They have great ideas of what they want to plant, including herbs and vegetables that our Kai team can use in our school lunches!
