On Friday, we will be sending home the children's books and stationery from this year. This will include used and unused items. Please put any unused items in a safe place as they can be used for both K\u014dwhai and P\u014dhutukawa in 2020. <\/span>
For our Year 4 moving to P\u014dhutukawa next year, we do strongly recommend that your child have their own device. This will last them until they leave in Year 8 and are a great investment.<\/span>
On Monday, we will send home any art work from the hub. Please send your child with an extra bag in case they need it.<\/span>

<\/span>Transition to P\u014dhutukawa<\/b><\/span>
This week, we have been providing time for the Year 4s to visit the team so they can see the many similarities in our teams. The children are letting us know how many visits they need and for many they have commented that it's just like going home as this was our team hub last year.<\/span>
