Kei runga noa atu koe - You're the best, awesome, outstanding or top-notch.  

Used to highly praise someone for their work, achievements, or simply for being great.

Please be seated by 1.55pm for our kapa haka today.

From Whaea Lisa: 

For ALL children who walk or scooter or bike to or from school please listen carefully. We have two drive through areas. The smaller drive through by the Year 5/6 basketball court is often very busy and as you walk across the drive through by the big orange skip bin it is SO important to check if a car is about to turn into the drive through. 

I see lots of kids walk straight across without checking and many times I have seen a car have to suddenly stop. It is very dangerous to walk across a stretch of footpath where cars also use the same space without looking. 

Also when you get to the end of the path by the junior playground, check if a car is about to turn out of the drive through before walking across to the school gate. 

Please STOP, WAIT and LOOK every time you cross we want you to be safe and often drivers don't notice you are about to step out. 

Teachers, maybe classes could go and practice crossing this space so they have all had an experience of what to do.

Kaua e wareware:

• Term 2 and 3 - Please stay off the field before school to give it a chance to dry out and avoid mud and grass through the classrooms.

A former Interislander ferry has been granted permission to sail to India for scrapping, six months after being sold by KiwiRail.

The Vega, formerly the Aratere, has been at anchor in Tasman Bay since December awaiting approval to enter India where it will be dismantled.

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) confirmed the ship, which needs a permit to leave New Zealand because it is deemed hazardous waste, has been granted an export permit.

When you take your ipu pepa to be emptied, please leave your lid in your classroom.
