We started by welcoming all our new students, whanau and staff to our school with a powhiri led by our senior students. We were so lucky to have two of our year 6 boys speak in Te Reo and they were supported by Whaea Lois.

We also presented some amazing mums with some Mothers Day awards sponsored by Duffy Books in Schools. Students had to write about their mums and the best in Team Aroha and Team Tumanako were chosen by Mrs Mulipola.

Finally we celebrated and acknowledged our Support Staff workers as part of International Support Workers Day which officially was on Wednesday 16 May. This day is always promoted by NZEI and is a time where schools can really focus on their teachers aides, office staff and grounds staff and say thanks for their massive contribution to the school.

The classes were each given a different support staff worker and they put together cards and gifts for them. The school also presented them with a flower necklace, box of roses and one rose.
