Kia ora koutou, Te Kura o Ōkahau whānau,
I wanted to update everyone now that all of our staffing funding and teaching staff have been confirmed for next year.
Room 3 - NE - Year 2 Whaea Wendy
Room 2 - Year 3 - 4 Whaea Erin
Room 1 - Year 5 - 8 Ms Mackay / Mr Burrow
We have already begun transitions, and will continue to plan for more of these as the term progresses so that the tamariki are feeling comfortable in their classrooms for the beginning of next year.
If you have any questions, etc, please don't hesitate to come and have a chat with a member of the teaching staff or me.
He waka eke noa – We are in this together!
