Kia ora Waitetuna Whaanau,


Book Week

what a fun week celebrating reading! Thank you Waitetuna School whānau for all of your support this week. Sales have topped $2,000 and we receive 30% of that back to purchase books for our school. Yahoo!


New Zealand curriculum draft review

This is an exciting opportunity as our country’s school curriculum is up for review. You are able to read about what this looks like at this link and provide your thoughts. If any members of our whānau or community want to review the content online and give us their feedback, you can complete this survey at this link — Survey for everyone


Playground additions

We are excited to let you know that the Lotteries Commission agreed to giving us funds to ‘top up’ our Meridian funding and to support an extension of the Senior playground. We are working to get these installed over the school holidays but it maybe into term 1 also.

Ngaa mihi Amanda and staff.
