The EnviroCommittee have designed and decorated an Egg to enter in the Te Puke Easter Festival. This is one of 12 eggs created by the community on display for an art scavenger hunt. The theme our students chose to incorporate was “promoting sustainability both in school and the community”. A powerful reminder of the forever impacts upon our whenua, the group included a whakatauki relevant to their interpretation and creation of their Egg. “Whantungarongaro te tangata, toitū te whenua – As man disappears from sight, the land remains”.

A big thank you and shout out to our sponsor for this project: Bioeconomy Science Institute Te Puke

Check out this group’s artwork and dedication, as well as the other fantastic Eggs, at the Easter Festival at Jubilee Park on Saturday 4th April. There is also a People’s Choice Award for the Eggs.

Kia ora Whānau, Parents and Caregivers

I am sharing the latest updates that we have received regarding the weather. Paramount for us is the health and wellbeing of our students, staff and community as we deal with the deteriorating conditions.

As the rain continues, we have been informed that a number of roads in our catchment area have either been closed or have surface water making travel difficult.

The buses are running as scheduled at this stage although some routes may not be fully accessible. Where necessary buses may need to try alternative routes if they face significant obstacles. This will mean some delays and some of our students may not be home at the scheduled times. Where possible students will be encouraged to communicate with parents and caregivers so the updates are live if there are any changes.

Parents and caregivers are welcome to arrange to collect their students from school if they have any concerns about the buses being able to complete their regular routes.

I hope our community stays safe during these difficult times.
