Term 3, Week 8 9/9/2024 - 13/9/2024
From the Principal's Desk
Greetings Parents, Caregivers and Whanau, Week 8, 13th September 2024
I have been busy at the AIMS Games with Chris Bailey who took the first ever Year 7/8 Boys for the football. A huge thanks to Kelly and all the amazing parents who helped make this event possible. Our goal and focus is to work on how to grow this experience for more senior students in 2025. More information to follow to get your input into this experience and how we can offer more camps and trips in the years to come.
School Timetable
We have made a slight adjustment to the daily school hours. The school day will now start at 8.55am and finish at 2.55pm. This adjustment has been made to work with the bus timetable.
Enrolments for 2025
In 2025 we have 7 classes and we are working on the best possible balance for each class. As we have predicted the roll to sit around 150 students for the next few years we do have spaces for students that might be out of our enrolment scheme area. If you are interested in coming to our school, please request an enrollment pack from the office and visit our amazing school. I am more than happy to show you around and to look at our achievements.
Nga mihi, Gary Veysi, Principal Whenuakite School -principal@whenuakite.school.nz
