Dear Parents and Community Members

Tena Koutou.

School Values for the Term: Respect & Excellence 125th Celebrations—Photos of this day are available to be viewed on

our website under 125th Celebrations. Lost—a silver and black pearl pendant off a necklace. Please hand

this to the office if you find it as it is precious to the owner. Concerns/Complaints—If you have any concerns or complaints

please see your child’s teacher in the first instance. The school’s concerns/complaints policy is on our website—this has the steps that must be followed if you are unhappy with the outcome. Under no circumstances are adults to approach other people’s children on the school grounds. Staff must address the issues that happen in the playground/school. If your children have problems on the way to or from school please see the Principal.
