Pouhere
Following the loss of our Aunty Peggy last week, on Saturday we lost another of our Mareikura, Whaea Wikitoria Wright, the 93-year-old wife of Ross Rawson Wright our 10th Academy Intake.
As we did last week, the Academy and staff traveled to Waikaretu marae, on the Pouto peninsula, to pay our respects.

- These final weeks are a crucial time for our students to secure the credits they need to pass their NCEA. The right attitude is the key to success. The teachers and staff are here to support you.
- Remember to maintain uniform standards as it contributes to a positive school environment and helps foster self-discipline and responsibility.

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.
