Parent–Teacher Conferences – Tuesday 23 and Thursday 25 June

Our Parent–Teacher Conferences are being held next week, after school, on Tuesday 23 June and Thursday 25 June.

These conferences are an important opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher, discuss their progress and next steps, and ask any questions you may have. This year, families of senior students can also book an NCEA check-in to review progress towards qualifications and credits.

Booking an appointment is very simple:

Go to www.schoolinterviews.co.nz
Enter the booking code f92z4
Follow the steps to select your preferred teacher, date and time.

We strongly encourage all parents and whānau to book a time and take advantage of this valuable opportunity to connect with the school.

During the conferences, staff will also be available to help you download and set up the new HelixSMS app which replaces the out of date Edge app. The app can be used to report absences, receive newsletters and access other important school information. Please pop into the school office if you would like some help getting it up and running.

Football fever has hit school.

There has been plenty happening at lunchtime - football wise. Students have really enjoyed games of football, organised and refereed by Mrs Hall on the field, while others chose to watch the NZ vs Iran match live in round one of the World Cup.

Playing cards with your child isn’t just a game—it’s a powerful moment of connection.

While a PlayStation offers distraction, a deck of cards invites eye contact, laughter, and presence. It taps into a child’s deepest psychological need: to feel seen and valued.

Every shuffle, every shared win or loss, builds emotional intelligence, resilience, and trust. These are the moments that shape secure attachments and lasting memories—far more rewarding than any digital high score.

When you sit across the table, you’re not just playing a game—you’re saying, you matter to me.

Playing cards with your child isn’t just a game—it’s a powerful mom...

Start time 9.15am: Remember its Book Character day tomorrow. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in their costumes, remember to bring your book :)

We have made a change to start time and it will be slightly earlier based on feedback to allow parents to stay on to watch after dropping students off in the morning. The parade will start at 9.15am, please pop in to the staffroom for a cuppa while you wait :)
