E te whānau o Te Kāpehu Whetū nau mai hoki mai ki te wāhanga tuatahi o te tau 2024.
Welcome back to another new and exciting year. We hope that you have all had a nice break over the Christmas period.
It has been an amazing start to the year with our haerenga last week to Kupe Waka Centre and this week our pōwhiri to welcome new staff and students into the kura. We then came together as Kura Tuakana to do different fun activities to set tikanga and expectations of our kura and to Whakawhanaungatanga with our new students and teachers.
It has been awesome getting to know the new students and staff and look forward working with them all during the year.
Nau mai haere mai matua Wiremu ki te whānau.
Nō reira ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa,
Nā Matua Ropata
TE KĀPEHU WHETŪ KAUPAPA
Whānau please note
- Our kura has high expectations of ourselves and ākonga, therefore, we need to attend consistently, be awake, follow the hygiene and dress standards, and be well-rounded in our hauora.
- Healthy kai (provided) and Wai Māori are the only acceptable kai allowed at TKW. Please ensure that your tamariki has a clean and named water bottle with them each day.
SchoolDocs
As part of the merge process, Te Kāpehu Whetū has been working with SchoolDocs to create a website for our policies and procedures. We are excited to announce that the site is now live and available to our school community. Access details are in the newsletter.
