NOA’IA, KIA ORA, TALOFA LAVA, AND WELCOME.
Winter has certainly arrived and the tamariki are enjoying playing in the frost when they arrive at school in the morning. We are noticing that there’s a lot of illness around at the moment. If your tamariki are ill, please keep them at home and notify the office.
We have a busy term ahead with a wide range of learning experiences happening both within the school and around the wider Wellington region and we have been impressed with how quickly tamariki have settled into routines again. Please keep an eye on the Facebook page and newsletter for updated information. For trips outside of Stokes Valley your tamariki will bring home a permission slip that will need to be signed and returned to school for them to take part in the trip.
We have an amazing school, and it takes everyone working together to create a culture where we can learn and grow individually and collectively. This is not always an easy or straight forward process but with perseverance and keeping our KORAU values at the front of our thinking, we can help the tamariki be the best they can be.
We welcome Kingi, Manaia, Tennessee, Zoe and their whānau who joined us at Kura this week.
KORAU VALUES
We are encouraging tamariki to show how KORAU values can be demonstrated through words and actions around the school. These are the basis on how we build relationships and work together. Our KORAU values are
Kind/Manaakitanga We show Kindness to people and the environment.
Own/Rangatiratanga We Own our own behaviour.
Respect/Whakaute We Respect the rules, people, and the school.
Aspire/Wawata We do quality work and strive for excellence.
Unite/Whanaungatanga We work as a team / whanau. We are inclusive.
