Our American Kruetzkamp whanau have been strong supporters of our little kura. They have on many occasions been on hand to awhi with supervision and manning stalls on fundraising days. They have been instrumental in supporting our kapa haka with new uniforms and have advocated for providing our tamariki with lots of opportunities and experiences outside of the classroom. 

Our whanau at Te Orewai Native Nursery have given us many lovely locally grown native plants this year. These plants have been used to beautiful our school surroundings, in particular around our now front gate and path and along our bike track! Most recently Te Orewai Native Nursery donated kowhai trees (grown right here in Pipiwai) to be given to all kura that participated in our Taniwha Challenge.

Otaika Valley Free Range Eggs are a company that donate trays of eggs to our tamariki every week. Because of this our tamariki are able to have hot eggs on toast for breakfast most mornings. These donated eggs are also used for teaching our tamariki how to cook and bake. 

Thank you Ngati Hine Trust for sponsoring these awesome Te Orewai Tshirts. We look forward to wearing and representing Ngati Hine at our upcoming events! We are so greatful!
