Kia ora koutou e te whānau, he mihi nui ki a koutou katoa!

“Greetings and acknowledgements to you all”

I hope you have all had a great couple of weeks with your children, I know the staff are looking forward to re-connecting with them tomorrow 🙂

I just wanted to take a quick moment to reach out before the “rubber hits the road,” say hello and just let you all know how excited I am, and privileged I feel to have been gifted the opportunity to lead as the new Principal at Ngaere School.

Born and bred in Hawera, Taranaki has always been home and Ngaere School has always had an amazing reputation as one of ‘schools of choice’ in the area. I look forward to ensuring that this continues to be the case.

There are many exciting opportunities that lie ahead and as I get to know you all in the days, weeks and months to come – I look forward to connecting with you in collaboration and consultation to review and evaluate the oportunities afforded to our children.

NB: The school website will be updated in coming weeks to ensure it reflects current school practices/contact details etc.

With Pet Day on Wednesday, we won’t send another formal newsletter out this week, so please see below for some key information.

Kia pai ō wiki! (Have a great week!)
