Kia Ora e te whānau
Our 2024 Matariki celebration is getting closer, and we are well underway with our prep at school for this fantastic event which will take place next Thursday 27th June.
A big thank you to everyone who has offered to help us in one way or another on the day. We are still after a few more braziers and some firewood if anyone has any spare they would like to donate. Each brazier is going to be lit and will represent the 9 stars of Matariki. We will have toast and spreads, cereals and Milo available provided for breakfast from 7am.
We welcome all our Tawhai Whānau and community to come along and celebrate with us for Matariki 2024.
