From the Principal...


Tn koutou katoa,
Thank you to all the Parents and Staff who have made the
Experiencing Marine Reserves Camps so successful. Mr
Michael Batys and Ms Davina Derecourts tired classes have
returned today with all sorts of exciting stories of sightings of
exotic fish, although nobody spotted any Mermaid, as reported
by our New Entrants after their snorkeling at Opito Bay!
Education Review Office Visit Week 11, April 11-14: The
Education Review Office will be visiting the school in Week 11.
As a school, we know we have come a long way in the past 12
months, however, we still have a lot to do in getting our school to
the world-class status we aspire to. We know the ERO review
will help us to clarify our thinking and provide a fresh perspective
on our direction, giving us further mandates for school development in the coming years.
