Friday again already! Ngā mihi team Kōtuku for a lovely learning-filled hui this morning. Always nice to finish the week with waiata and celebrations of our awesome tamariki.

Our family is growing and this pou is nearly filled with fingerprints! This morning we welcomed our newest learners and whānau at another mihi whakatau. As always, it was very special to officially connect you all to our kura. He waka eke noa – haere mai, nau mai!

A rainy day start for our newest learners but they are straight into it in room 9 this morning. The warmest of welcomes to our new kaiako Philippa Getty and her new entrant crew. He mihi mahana ki matou ākonga hou. Nau mai, haere mai!

It's a newsletter day!

Manners, Milestones, and Masterful Acting! Kia ora Mrs Ioane and the Kōtuku team for focusing on manners at today’s assembly. The learners in Room 5 did an excellent job modelling how to politely ask Mrs Leggett and Mr Taylor for help through some fun skits. Congratulations to all of our deserved award winners this week - Kei runga noa atu koutou! Special mention to Room 8 and Room 10 for winning the Travel Safe Wednesday challenge.
