Nau mai, tautī mai ki Te Kura o Ōhinetahi!

Good afternoon,

Following on from the email sent last week regarding winter team sport opportunities, please see below information. 

We are currently halfway to forming our Year 7/8, Year 5/6, and Year 5–8 Girls' basketball teams. We have fantastic, dedicated coaches lined up and ready to go—we just need a few more players to get these teams on the court! Along with basketball singlets on the way. 

While we’d love to see more netballers, our current numbers there are very low. If your child has signed up for netball but is open to playing basketball instead, we’d highly recommend making the switch so they can guarantee a spot in a confirmed team this season.

Good afternoon,

Congratulations to the students below who have qualified for the Ninja Warrior Finals. This event is taking place tomorrow from 2:00–3:00pm, and it would be great for whānau to come along and support the finalists.

Tūī - Esme, Cooper, Aspen, Roma, Blake, and Katie.

Korimako - Jed, John, Indie, Georgia, Felix, Lucy, and Easton.

Pīwakawaka - Isa, Saoirse, Armani, Cael, Tor, and Elena.

Kererū - Ashton, Michael, Antonio, Lumi, Ben, and Hugo.

Kia ora whānau,

Thank you for sharing your feedback about what matters most to you at our kura, and what you would like to see more of moving forward. We’ve had a fantastic response from our whānau community, and alongside input from our kaiako, students, and wider community, this has been woven into a draft Strategic Plan to guide our kura over the next four years.

Please take some time to read the draft Strategic Plan (attached) and share any thoughts or changes you would like to see. We would appreciate any feedback no later than Friday 17 April.

Every voice counts, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Best Wishes,

Chloe Delamore-Black
