Matua Rawiri’s Shout Out

Tena Koutou Parents & Caregivers

Last Friday, the Te Arawa Senior Kapa Haka groups participated in a memorable and enriching competition. ‘Congratulations’ to any parents of Mokoia Intermediate that may have represented a roopu. A huge mihi to Matua Hori who performed for Pikiaorangi, a new roopu that entered this year.

Noho Marae – Rumaki

Our students immersed themselves in the cultural practices and traditions of the marae, deepening their understanding and appreciation of our Māori heritage. It was a couple of days filled with learning, unity, and pride as our students showcased their talents and dedication to our cultural values. We extend our gratitude to all the whānau and staff who supported this event and helped make it a success. Our whole school have completed noho marae for 2024.

Principal’s Absence and Acting Principal

We would like to inform our school community that our Principal, Matua Rawiri, will be on medical leave until the end of this term and will hopefully return at the beginning of Term 2. During this time, Deputy Principal Mrs Jackie Jones will be Acting Principal. We have full confidence in Mrs Jones’s leadership and abilities to ensure the smooth operation of our school. We wish Matua Rawiri a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming him back next term.

Important Reminders

• Please ensure that all permission slips and forms are returned promptly.
• Encourage your child to participate in school activities and clubs.
• Stay updated with school news and events through our website and newsletters.

Thank You

Thank you to our students, staff, whānau, and community for your ongoing support and commitment.

Together, we continue to celebrate our culture, nurture our students’ talents, and create a positive learning environment for all.
