Please join us for Grandparents’ Day on Friday 31 October. We invite all Kuia, Koro, Grandmas, Grandads and extended whānau to come to school and have morning tea with their tamariki, spend time in classes and browse our Book Fair. All whānau are welcome to attend and we would love to see you there!

Grandparents’ Day is held in conjunction with our Book Fair. Students are encouraged to dress up as their FAVOURITE BOOK CHARACTER on Friday 31 October. Prizes for best dressed will be awarded after the parades.

We encourage you to spend some time in classrooms, check out our wonderful class displays and have your tamariki talk you through their learning. It is a great time to touch base with what is going on in our classrooms and we would love to see you in our spaces.
