Please join us for Grandparents’ Day on Friday 1 November. We invite all Kuia, Koro, Grandmas and Grandads to come to school and have morning tea with their mokopuna, spend time in the classrooms 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. Prizes for best dressed will be awarded after the parades.

Our PTA will have tea, coffee and home baking available for sale, as well as raffle tickets to purchase.

The programme for the day is as follows:

11:00am Morning Tea Time: Grandparents arrive at school and head to classes to eat morning tea with their grandchildren or accompany them to the library to browse the Book Fair.

11:30am Book Character Parade: The bell will ring and students will go back to class. Whānau will assemble in the hall ready for our Book Character Parade.

11:40am  Junior and Middle Team Parade (Rooms 1-10)

12:20pm  Senior and Intermediate Team Parade (Rooms 11-20)

After the parade, grandparents are invited to join us around the school until lunchtime at 1pm. Your tamariki may wish to share some work in their classroom or browse the Book Fair in the library. We encourage you to spend some time in classrooms, check out our wonderful class displays and ask your tamariki to show 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.

1:40pm: Classes resume as normal after lunch.
