Kia ora e te whānau
Welcome back! We hope you had a fantastic holiday filled with joy and memorable moments. As we start the new year, we’re excited to have our Tawhai School community back together.
Our dedicated kaiako have been hard at work over the few weeks. As well as preparing the year ahead, teachers have had training to support the implementation of the bullying prevention programme KIVA (more details to come).
Stationery requirements can be accessed on
