Kia ora koutou,

Unfortunately, due to illness and injury for some of our staff, there will be no newsletter this week.

On the bright side, we will have some awesome stories and pictures to publish from our Senior Leadership Camp in our next newsletter.

The next newsletter will be published mid next week.

Thanks for your patience.

Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome to a new school year. 

Here are some important dates for the start of our year:

Tuesday 27th January - the school office open from 8am to 1pm for new enrolments and uniform purchases.

Friday 30th January - Teacher Only Day - school closed

2nd February - First day of school for 2026

Our school board has kindly opted into the Government's donation scheme so there is no need to purchase any school stationery for your child.

From Monday 26th January we will check our messages regularly, so if you have any queries regarding the new year, please leave a message on our school phone or email admin@waikaretu.school.nz and we aim to respond as soon as possible.

Looking forward to seeing you all again!
