tekau mā toru o Whiringa-ā-rangi
Friday 13th November
Term 4 Week 5 2026
Another opportunity to keep learning our new waiata that celebrates the unity of Ngāti Toa.
Tō mīharo hoki!
You are awesome!
Make someone's day, and show aroha, by telling them how awesome they are!
Message from Matua
Lately some of our students have not been making positive choices at school or at Technology which is disappointing.
Over the next 5 weeks until the end of the school year, anyone who is involved in any negative behaviour will be given community service in their break and lunch times. Please remember you are role models and our expectations of you are high so keep our school safe and enjoyable for everyone.

A community group in Lyall Bay on Wellington's south coast is seeking backers to raise $7000 to build a more than four-metre-tall inflatable poo emoji to float out in the surf of the bay.
High Tide Club member Johnny Carpenter said the year had been blighted by the catastrophic failure of the nearby Moa Point waste water plant and the community deserved to make their own statement. The plant flooded in February, pumping around 14 billion litres of raw sewage into the ocean. It is still not back up and running.
"Hopefully it just gives people a laugh and, maybe around the council table, it will get people talking and getting more motivated to get this problem fixed.
Other people were not so keen. A local surf shop owner said "I don't know if it's a good idea. I think it's already embarrassing enough, the situation as it is and I don't know if adding that will be constructive."

Please collect bait from Rm 5 after lunch and check and rebait traps. Remember to wash your hands afterwards.
You are welcome to check traps on other days and deal with any catches.
The checking and rebaiting wasn't happening towards the end of last term.
Please make sure you take you turn, or let me know if you are not keen to be part of the team any more.

Here is the new road patrol roster for the rest of the year. You will notice that all the experienced patrollers are buddied up with 2 new trainees. The idea is that they will get some on the job experience ready to go for it in 2027.
Kids need to be at school ready to go at 8:25 and at the end of the day they don't need to report for duty til 2:55pm.
