Kia Ora, Talofa Lava, Kia Orana, Malo e lelei and warm greetings to you all.
My name is Adam Tamariki and I am very proud to be serving as the Principal of Te Paina School. We are an amazing Year 1-8 rural school situated in the heart of the Mercer community. We have a fantastic team who are passionate about our tamariki and making learning fun and engaging. Our akonga are actively engaged in their learning journey. We encourage our students to explore, discover and lead their learning through hands on experiences and a range of learning opportunities. Please come and visit us at Te Paina. We would very much love to have you be a part of our learning community here at Te Paina School.

Kia Ora all,
Students can wear their favourite pyjamas to school tomorrow to celebrate National PJ Day.
NO GOLD COIN DONATION REQUIRED - However, can we encourage you to donate a pair of pyjamas through the Kindness Collective at The Warehouse stores around the country? It's a good way to give to those in need if you can.
Ngaa manaakitanga,
Team Te Paina
Kia ora whaanau,
We are on the hunt for someone to help us transport 2 students to and from school, from the Meremere village.
If you have some spare seats and are willing to help transport these 2 students, please email me or come to see me ASAP.
We are always grateful for our Te Paina whaanau and the support this community gives.
Ngaa mihi,
Whaea Bonnie

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
Kia Ora whaanau,
