Our tamariki loved performing at
Whānau @ The Falls, a special day celebrating community and culture. Schools and groups came together to share performances, with our students proudly taking the stage with their Pacific Island dance. It was awesome to see so many of our school whānau there supporting and with the beautiful weather, it made for a perfect day. Our tamariki truly shone on stage — ka rawe!

Our tamariki had an awesome time at our Swimming Sports Day, competing in our newly formed house groups. The day was filled with fun water-themed races, relays, and a mix of pool and land-based activities.Students loved the friendly competition and the chance to enjoy the water with their classmates. There was plenty of laughter, energy, and team spirit , we’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year!

Our tamariki proudly performed at the Pasifika Fusion Festival, joining schools and groups from across Whangārei in a vibrant celebration of Pacific culture, dance, and traditional costume. Ngā mihi to Whaea Sandra for guiding the group and to our whānau for supporting our tamariki.

With more logging trucks travelling through our valley, it was perfect timing for our friends at Manulife to visit our kura. They taught our tamariki about road safety, truck blind spots, and the importance of being seen near the road. They also left us with some great goodies and resources. Ngā mihi to Manulife for awhiing our kura and community!

Our tamariki are hard at work while at Technology at Mangakahia School. There they learn foundation skills of cooking, woodwork and art. Some of our tamariki have already begun to show talent in cooking and design in woodwork. 

Nga mihi to Family Works Northland  and Whaea Annamay who kindly Family Works Giveaways  donated a van lot of toys, books and clothes for our tamariki. We were able to give most of it to our tamariki and look forward to our next Giveaway Day when the rest can be handed out to our whanau!
