Talofa Lava Te Paina whaanau,
Due to a number of unforeseen circumstances we have made the decision to postpone our mid year learning journey meetings until Week 3 of Term 3. These mid year learning meetings will now take place on Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th August. Appointments will be available from 2:30pm and finishing at 5:30pm on both days. Bookings for these meetings will open at the end of the term via Skool Loop.
Your child will still receive their mid year report for the first half of the year via email on the last day of this term - Friday 3rd July. Please refer to our earlier paanui around the way our school will continue to report to parents in this round. If you have any questions please do reach out to your child's teacher.
Thank you for your continued support.
Ngaa manaakitanga,
Whaea Haley - Acting Principal

We are absolutely thrilled to share some wonderful news with our school community!
Matua Adam and his wife Eseta, have welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world! She arrived on Wednesday 20 May at 10.46pm and both mum and baby are doing fantastic.
We know you join us in sending our warmest congratulations and best wishes.
Ngaa mihi,
Team Te Paina
Kia Ora whaanau,
We are noticing an increase in students wanting to leave class to get a drink. Something that would really help would be children having a FILLED water bottle in the morning when they come to school.
Please help us to encourage this by sending your child to school every day with a filled water bottle to keep them hydrated in class.
Ngaa mihi,
Team Te Paina
Parents, please support our local businesses
