We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow.  The new skate park on Watson Park is finished and was a very popular space for activity over the holidays.  During morning tea and lunchtimes we are looking forward to our tamariki enjoying this space.  Helmets will be required to access this space during these times if you are on wheels.

Tomorrow morning, the football World Cup final is being played.  I know that there are many whānau who have been following this tournament and are looking forward to watching the final.  We will have the final playing from 8:00 am in Rūma Hāmana (Room 3) tomorrow morning.  If tamariki (or whānau) want to come and watch the second half of the game at school, everyone is welcome.  School will operate as normal from 9:00 am, however tamariki who are interested can stay in Rūma Hāmana watching the game until it is finished.  

See you all tomorrow.

Kia ora e te whānau,

Due to the severe frosty road conditions we have been experiencing across Ōtepoti Dunedin, we are making a few adjustments to ensure everyone travels to school safely tomorrow morning.

Please read the following updates regarding tomorrow's Matariki Breakfast:

1. New Start Time Tomorrow
Time: Our Matariki Breakfast will now begin at 8:00 am (instead of 7:30 am).
We want to give our staff, students, and families a little extra time to navigate the roads safely.

2. What happens if there is a Dunedin-wide Late Start?
As you know, winter weather can be unpredictable.

The Rule: If Dunedin schools are issued a blanket "late start" tomorrow morning, our Matariki Breakfast will be postponed.
The Backup Plan: If postponed, we will celebrate our Matariki Breakfast together in the new term instead.
Where to check: Please keep an eye on your phone and our school communication channels first thing tomorrow morning for any official Dunedin-wide delay announcements.
Thank you so much for your understanding, flexibility, and commitment to keeping our community safe. Wrap up warm, stay safe on the roads, and we hope to see you all at 8:00 am!

Ngā manaakitanga

We may have a heating issue at school this morning.  We have a boiler technician coming however it may be a little colder in classrooms to start our day.  Extra layers may be needed.
