Principal's Patch<\/h2>

M\u0101nawatia a Matariki!<\/h3><\/div>
What a very special time we had at school last night for our Matariki Wh\u0101nau Hui! Thank you to everyone who came along to join in the celebration. It really was very special to have you all back in the hubs and in the hall, sharing together in learning about and celebrating Matariki.<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/a><\/div>
A huge thank you to our amazing PTA for taking on the challenge of preparing the h\u0101ngi on site for the first time. Whilst there were some challenges with the cooking, we appreciate so much the huge effort that went into this, and we look forward to future h\u0101ngi having learned a lot from this one.<\/div>
Thanks also to Steve Cooke who co-ordinated last night's event, and to all of our staff and senior students who stayed and supported the activities to make this such a great community night.<\/div>
