Ngā mihi nui kia koutou katoa,
Wow! It’s hard to believe that we’re through two weeks of the term already – and what a great start to my time as Principal/Tumuaki at Ngaere School. A huge thank you to the students, staff and community for the warm response and community spirit. Over the past fortnight, I’ve really enjoyed wandering through classrooms, connecting with the staff and starting to get to know your wonderful children. I look forward to continuing to build on these relationships as the term progresses.
Over the next couple of weeks, I plan to roll my sleeves up, get into the classrooms and hear from the kids what they love about their school and what ideas or suggestions they have for our staff to consider as we plan for 2025.
Please see below for more information regarding community engagement and consultation.
What’s on in Week 3:
- Monday 28 October – Labour Day – No School
- Tuesday 29 October – PTA Meeting – Everyone Welcome!
- Friday 01 November – Gumboot Friday – Gold Coin Donation (bring ya gummies)
- Friday 01 November – Bookclub Due
Kia pai ō wiki mutungā

Home/School – Communication Review:
In order to continue to provide excellent opportunities for our students, a review of systems is important. Thank you to the familes who have provided feedback so far. This information is really useful in guiding our decision making.
We’d really like to look at the way we currently communicate with parents and our wider community. To help us evaluate the effectiveness of our current practices, please complete this short survey by clicking HERE.
