Kia ora e te whānau,
What a wonderful and action-packed couple of weeks we have had!
Transition Visits
With 2024 around the corner, we had the first of our transition visits this week. Our year 2s visited Kōwhai, and our year 1s made new connections with our Koru visitors in the Kahikatea hub. There were lots of creative activities on offer and many smiles seen.
