Welcome to Selwyn Ridge School

Kia Ora koutou A fun-filled Monday morning message on Friday to finish the first week back. Thanks to the team from the Jam Bus who got us all rocking and inspired lots of our tamariki to take up music lessons… Congratulations to all of our bookmark award winners who’ve been seen making great choices to start the year. We look forward to welcoming whānau to our first celebration assembly on Friday of week 4. Kia pai tō rā whakatā Waitangi koutou. See you all to launch week 2 on Tuesday.

Jedd’s been inspired by both Van Gogh and da Vinci this week and was proud to show off his mahi today.

Kia ora whānau Plenty of happy faces and a very settled start to the 2023 school year up on the ridge today. And it didn’t even rain at lunchtime! Let’s hope this next weather bomb passes quickly and some sunshine comes to stay soon

Kia ora koutou Looking forward to jumping into 2023 with you all! Our kaiako have been back into the mahi this week as we prepare for an abundance of awesome learning and fun with our tamariki this year. A reminder that tomorrow our classrooms are open from 9-10 and we’d love to see you pop in for a quick kōrero. The 2023 year begins at 8.30am on Tuesday January 31.

Ngā mihi o Te Tau Hou ki a koutou katoa Hope you have all had a restful summer break...even if the summer wasn't very summery! We are back planning for a fabulous year of fun and learning and looking forward to welcoming our tamariki in a couple of weeks. The office will be open from 9-12 from Monday 23 January for uniform purchases and inquiries. On Friday 27 January classrooms will be open from 9-10am so you can pop in and say hi to teachers and maybe allay some beginning of year nerves. School starts for 2023 on Tuesday January 31 at 8.30am. Monday February 6 is a public holiday for Waitangi Day. See you all soon!

Fun Christmas concert to finish off the year. And happy birthday Mrs Healy! Thanks for all your support throughout the year. Have a happy and restful summer (if it decides to arrive) with your whānau. Ngā mihi o te Kirihimete me te Tau Hou.

Ngā mihi kia koe our lovely Lesley. You’ve sure done the mahi! All our very best for the next stage of your career. We will miss you!

Thanks Bay City Mitsubishi and the Double Dans! This fabulous donation is going to add a whole new dimension to our Garden to Table Programmes next year. Ngā mihi!
