Principal's Update<\/h2>\n

Kia ora koutou,<\/h3>As you will be aware, our school will be closed for instruction tomorrow <\/b>to allow our teachers to participate in R\u0101 Kaimahi 2025 - Te Mana o Te Tamaiti (Our K\u0101hui Ako Conference Day), hosted at Cashmere High School. We appreciate the community\u2019s support in enabling our staff to attend this important professional learning event.<\/div>

<\/div>
Thank you to the 243 families who have already made bookings for upcoming Learning Conferences. <\/div>

<\/div>
As a reminder: <\/div>

<\/div>
Learning Conferences<\/b> will take place on:<\/div>

<\/div>
Tuesday 10 June - between 1:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.<\/div>

<\/div>
Wednesday 11 June - between 1:30 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.<\/div>

<\/div>

Reports <\/h3>
Next Friday, school reports will be sent out through HERO. As you read your child\u2019s report with them, it\u2019s important to remember that every child grows and develops at their own pace - and that\u2019s not only okay, it\u2019s completely normal. Progress can look different for each learner, and success isn\u2019t always linear. Celebrating effort, curiosity, resilience, and growth - no matter how small - can make a world of difference in how your child sees themselves as a learner. Your encouragement and belief in their potential are powerful tools that help them thrive.<\/div>

<\/div>
Have a great long weekend. <\/div>\n\n
