From the Principal

Last Friday we were fortunate to witness an amazing Kapa Haka performance by our Year 6 students. The group enthralled the audience with a selection of waiata and haka items, practiced and honed over the previous terms. The standard of the performance this year will remain long in the memory, and we are extremely proud of the students for their passion and skill! We were fortunate to have the support of Whaea Jordan Broomfield who has visited us during a trip home from London. Jordan worked with the Year 6 teachers, as well as Mrs Leader, and together they guided the students to an incredible display!

We are close to the end of the third term already- time has flown past so quickly! Term 4 promises to be even busier- we have (if Summer comes along) Athletics sports to look forward to, as well as a number of learning events including an eLearning evening. We also have graduation ceremonies as we farewell our Y6 students, and celebrate other students who are climbing the year groups on their journey through our school. Dates for these events are being finalised and will be shared shortly!

Principal’s Email Group

We are always seeking new members of this feedback group. During the year so far, we have received constructive feedback on the areas of school facilities, our vision, the proposed Community of Learning, Bible in Schools and Student Agency. 

The surveys are designed to be short- 3 to 4 questions maximum, and able to be completed in 5 minutes or less. We appreciate and use the responses to help our school keep improving!

If you are not on the mailing list for this group, and would like to be, email iand@pmps.school.nz to be added.

Welcome to

Humza Al-Shafi Rm 25, William Xu Rm 25, Olivia Wang Rm 25, Matthew Mulder Rm 7, Evelyn Wang Rm 16

 

BOT News

There has been significant property and facility discussion during the month of August. We are about to enter the new cycle of our 10 year property plan, and important infrastructure projects have been established as priorities. A number of roofing, drainage and water-tightness jobs have been identified as needing action, as well as classroom upgrades in Manuka and Puriri team areas. The board also reviewed strategic facility investments and have identified the reception building/area and hall as projects they would like to see addressed in coming years.
