Latest Notices

After School Care Cancellation Police
22 May 2025

Mōrena,

We wanted to remind all parents that use After School Care that if there is a cancellation we need to be informed by 12.30pm the day of the booking.  A failure to notify the school (or Mireka) of a cancellation will result in being charged for the first hour.  

As I'm sure you can appreciate, it is very stressful for Mireka if she is unaware of a cancellation and cannot locate a child.  If you unsure of your regular bookings, please contact the office or look in the ASC booking diary on the office desk. 

Kā mihi,

Sam Diprose

Swimming tomorrow Yrs 1 - 6

Kia ora,

A reminder that the year 1-6's are swimming tomorrow at Moana Pool.

Please make sure that all tamariki have togs, towel and googles.  They may also need some extra food as they tend to get hungry after these lessons. 

Kā mihi nui,

Sam
