He mihi tino nui ki a koutou, (Warmest greetings to you all) My apologies for the disruptions at the end of the street due to the pipeworks being completed along Old West Road. Although this is entirely out of my control, I understand your frustrations at pick up and drop off at the lack of parking and the long wait times. Hopefully this is completed soon and we can get back to normal. On Monday, we had Beckett start his schooling journey with Anna in Rimu, taking them up to 10. There is nothing like walking into that space in...

Ngā mihi mahana ki a koutou, (Warm greetings to you all) A special ‘Selamat Datang, which means welcome in Malay’ to Daniel, who started with us in Rimu with Anna on Monday.

I don’t think I’ve ever written a pānui during term time on a Wednesday before! Well the team from C&H Concreting certainly don’t muck around as you can see above considerable progress on our Bike Track since last week when they started. Heath and his team have put in the mahi (work) to get this ready for our kids despite the extra hot days we’ve had this week.
