The kaiako and kaimahi from Lyall Bay School wish to share a VERY BIG thank you to the wonderful Friends of Lyall Bay School, who arranged for whānau to provide delicious and yummy treats for morning tea today! With our Learning Through Play morning, it was perfectly timed to give us some much needed energy! Our heartfelt thanks! Have a lovely Easter break and School holiday time! Ngā mihi!

Kia ora!! We can't wait to see our tamariki and whānau on Monday morning from 8.30am. Have you seen a message from your kaiako on HERO?

Over the past few days the kaiako and kaimahi have been spending time preparing for the year ahead. Today we spent the day with Kathryn Berkett, an insightful and dedicated neuroscience educator who has been empowering people to understand brains, minds and behaviours. We invite our school community to come and listen to Kathryn on Tuesday 10th February. Further details will come out on HERO on Monday.

Earlier in the week, you may have spotted the kaiako having lunch on Lyall Bay Beach ⛱️ see you all on Monday!

Hello amazing community! This week our snorkel trips were affected by this shocking event and Mountains to Sea Wellington need our help! Do you know anything about the truck and/or trailer? We were so lucky to get one group out today to explore Princess Bay... but the impact on all the schools MTSW work with is huge! Lets see if we can be detectives and help these awesome people out 🕵️‍♀️ 🕵️‍♂️ 🕵️‍♀️

Our newly formed Board of Trustees has now found their feet and would love the opportunity to meet our school community.

The Board is hosting two informal meet-and-greet opportunities on Monday, 1st December (This coming Monday). Please feel free to come along, say hello, and share any thoughts you may have.

Afternoon Pickup – 3.00–3.30pm
Board members will be out on the grass field (weather permitting) from 3.00pm to 3.30pm.

If the weather isn’t great, they’ll be in the staffroom instead.

Evening – The Botanist, 6.00–7.30pm
Join the Board in the outdoor area at The Botanist for a relaxed catch-up.
Come for a chat, grab a drink or some nibbles, and connect with fellow Lyall Bay whānau.

These informal sessions can be as simple as a quick hello, or an opportunity to contribute ideas—you choose.

With a completely new Board, they are keen to hear constructive feedback as they begin shaping the school’s Strategic Plan for 2026 and beyond.

Feel free to encourage other parents along—we look forward to seeing you there!

Keep an eye out for our Board feedback survey, which will also help us gather your feedback.
