Dear Parents/Caregivers
Tena Koutou Katoa
Greeting to you all
We are already into week 4 of Term 2. We have had a great start to the term. Students are focused and on task and we are very proud of them upholding the school rules.
We welcome to our staff Mrs. Paku Kingi who is the new Office Administrator and Principal’s Assistant. Paku’s hours are from 8:30am - 3:00pm daily during school term. We also welcome our newest New Entrant, Jeslyn Milham and his family to the Sonrise community.
You will be notified in the next school newsletter who the new governing board will be. The returning officer is in the final stages of completing the election process.
I would like to thank Mr Russell and the students or room 4 and 5 for the amazing work they did to design and put up the goal posts at school.
