Staff                                                            

We have a wonderful staff.  The school is separated into four syndicates.  The syndicate and class names have their translation beside them.  The syndicates are named after parts of the Pohutukawa tree.  The Pohutukawa tree is prominent in our community.

Parent & Teachers Association (PTA)      

Parent Teacher Association The school has an active Parent Teacher Association (P.T.A.) which plays a vital role in providing support for the children of our school. The Association involves itself in supporting curriculum evenings, organisation of social occasions, special projects and fund raising. We are particularly fortunate in the dedication and enthusiasm shown by our P.T.A.

Meetings of the PTA are held regularly, usually at 7.30pm twice per term on a  Monday in the school staffroom. New members are always welcome.
