KIA ORA TO OUR NEW STUDENTS AND STAFF MEMBERS

Today we had our start of term powhiri to welcome 32 new students and 4 staff members to our Randwick Park School whānau.

A GREAT START TO TERM 3

Thank you for having your tamariki here from day one of Term 3.
A fantastic start! We look forward to working with you, your tamariki, and whānau, supporting your child with their attendance and learning.

This term is looking exciting with numerous learning opportunities for our our tamaiti. Please encourage them to put themselves forward when they hear about these activities.

A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL PRODUCTION

The production week for Te Haerenga – The Journey, saw many students challenge themselves both on and off the stage. From the sound tech and backstage assistants to dancers and actors, it was fantastic seeing students experience live theatre at a personal level. I was proud of everyone involved and grateful to the talented RPS staff who made this show possible.
Miss V.

TE HUI AKO – A MEETING TO SHARE LEARNING

Coming up this term 13-15 August we will be holding our Te Hui Ako. Last term we achieved our highest ever participation result with 94% of you meeting with our kaiako (teachers). It was a fantastic result and has set the bar even higher for this term. Scheduling times will be sent out next week. Our teachers are looking forward to sharing your child’s achievements so far this term.
