Caring, Connected, Creative, Life-long Learners

Morena

We hope that you all had a good long weekend. The 4 day weekend is certainly a really big plus to living in Hawkes Bay, and the great weather will have enabled many of you to get out into our wonderful outdoors.

Last week, the Year 7 students had an action packed three days for camp. Cycling, surfing, exploring Te Mata Peak and sailing showed off the best that Hawkes Bay has to offer. All students showed determination and team work throughout the three days. Thank you to Miss Hope and our amazing group of parents who transported, encouraged and made our camp possible.

Driveway Entrance
Work has started but progress has been slowed by the rain. Entrance via the office door is not possible. Please follow the tape and enter school around the back – through the resource room door.
Help in directing the children will be appreciated at the start and end of each school day.
Entrances and exits may change as the work progresses. Health and safety is top priority.

Fundraiser Opportunity
Puketapu Parent League has been offered a fundraising opportunity by working on the back bars at three summer concerts and also washing and re boxing up the glassware the following day.  It's a great fundraising opportunity for the School and all we need is some willing parents to roll up their sleeves for the dates and times below, it is a fast paced, fun environment and you also get to enjoy the concert !
