It has been great to see so many kids back this week and I’m pleased that all our teaching staff are out of isolation now too. Gosh, it has taken its toll on our community and affected over half of our school! For those who are still unwell, Kia piki tō ora (get well soon).
Just wanted to commend you all on your compassion and empathy in getting through this current world climate, as it hasn’t been an easy time for a lot of families.
As another week comes to a close here, I want you to know how much I am loving being the Tumuaki/Principal of your kura. I feel fortunate to lead such a fantastic group of teachers and learners! Thank you all for your support and compassion you are showing through some challenging times across our country. It has made my transition smooth as.
Getting in one day early everyone since this is the last reminder that school is closed for instruction tomorrow on Friday 4th March as it is a Teacher Only Day.
Gosh, the weeks are flying by now as we are fully back into the swing of school again. Another juicy one here whānau with lots of things happening, so please take the time to read everything happening over the coming weeks.
Here’s hoping this weekend’s weather is a bit kinder than the last two. We were lucky at school that we didn’t lose any trees or otherwise, but I heard from a lot of the kids that the same can’t be said for some of you!
Just like that, we are another week down whānau. It has been a cracker of a week with some massive temperatures, making our aircon units work overtime!
Well just like that ‘Week One is Done’ and I’ve survived my first week as a principal and I’m just loving my new role out here!
What a beautiful day for our first day of the new school year. It was a real shame to not welcome our new students and staff this morning with an official pōwhiri, but it was nice to meet a lot of you yesterday at our Korero Mai and today on drop off.
Welcome back to what we hope has been a wonderful summer for you and your whānau. Team Turitea are all feeling refreshed and ready to go for the 2022 year and are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Tuesday 1st February from 8.30am.
