Message from Thames Netball Centre:

Kia ora Thames Netball whānau,
With all the bugs and sickness going around at the moment, and the impending rain forecast, we have decided to postpone tonight's netball.
All games will be pushed out a week, and instead of the fun festival, we will make that our dress-up night instead.
Our apologies for any inconvenience; however, our tamariki's health & safety will always be the first thing we think of when making these calls.
An updated draw with details will be sent out in the next couple of days.

Room 4 dove straight into the dress-up corner this morning, busily exploring new characters and worlds. It's amazing how a simple cape or hat can spark such creativity and imagination.

Thank you, Lincoln, for sharing some of your costumes with us!

We are fundraising to help our students get to Wellington later in the year.

Quick Reminder

Kia ora whānau,

Just a friendly reminder that Moanataiari School will be closed on these upcoming dates:

Tomorrow, Friday (29 May 2026): Teacher Only Day
Next Monday (1 June 2026): King's Birthday Public Holiday

Why a Teacher Only Day?

Our teaching staff will be engaged in professional learning and planning for the implementation of the new Mathematics curriculum.

This is part of a nationwide Government initiative for 2026 and 2027 to prepare teachers and school leaders to deliver the upcoming curriculum and assessment changes effectively.

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding. Enjoy a safe, relaxing four-day weekend with your tamariki! We will see everyone back on Tuesday, 2nd June.

Our senior students also spent time with the wonderful tamariki and teachers at Pioneer Kids Early Learning Centre.

From reading to outdoor play and conversations, it was a joy to watch our students step into leadership roles while building caring relationships with the younger children. The smiles, enthusiasm, and sense of connection shared throughout the visit made it a truly rewarding experience for everyone involved.

Thank you toPioneer Kids Early Learning Centre for hosting us and for the warm welcome shown to our students. Opportunities like these strengthen the bonds within our wider community and provide authentic learning experiences for all involved.

We can’t wait for the next visit! Pioneer Kids Early Learning Centre
