You will be greatly missed at Te Kura o Mouteka, but we are proud to see you take this next step in your journey and we wish you all the very best for this next chapter. 🙌🏾

Well what a day! Magic!
Silverware was coming our way yesterday. 3 teams of netballers took to the courts at TeTeko for the Jessie Savage Cup to represent Allandale. Senior girls lead by Shirley were awesome, played hard and had great fun in the sun.
The two year 3 and 4 teams had an outstanding day supported by loads of whanau and bringing in first and second places. You really are the golden swarm. Overall Allandale also came home with the best dressed prize as well. Nga mihi to everyone for the fabulous day!
