Kia ora Waitetuna Whaanau,

We are excited to welcome all our students and whānau back for Term 2. It's wonderful to see students settling quickly back into their learning routines, refreshed and ready for the term ahead.

This term, our teachers have been planning rich learning experiences connected to the Aotearoa New Zealand Histories curriculum. Our focus will be on exploring local stories, particularly reflecting on 150 years of schooling in our district. Students will investigate how schooling has changed over time and consider the experiences of those who were part of our community’s history.

We are looking forward to a term of deep learning, inquiry, and connection with the past, as students build their understanding of how history shapes who we are today.
