Kia ora koutou, Te Kura o Ōkahau whānau,
I’m pleased to announce that, following a lengthy process over the past month, I’ve appointed Lana Morrison to the Office Manager position at Warrington School for the start of next year.
Lana is a Warrington local who brings a lot of experience in administrative roles, from being a lead community coach for Netball South, a sports co-ordinator for a local High School, as well as experience in the social work space. She is currently working as a teacher's aide at a primary school in Dunedin.
She eagerly anticipates becoming a more involved part of our school community and connecting with our students and whānau.

Mōrena,
With our concert/prizegiving on Thursday we wanted to make you aware that there is Covid in the school community. We will ventilate the hall as much as possible and if you are wanting to avoid the crowd, the dress rehearsal on Thursday morning at 10am is usually less attended, allowing greater social distancing.
A reminder that our Christmas Market is on next Monday, 5pm - 7pm. We will have Mr Whippy and the Yellow Coffee Cart (including candy floss).
Kia ora koutou, Te Kura o Ōkahau whānau,
Here are the things that you need to know for the penultimate week of school ahead.
End of Year Prizegiving/ Performance / Year 8 Leavers Evening - Thursday 11th December @ Warrington Hall
Over the past couple of years, our end-of-school-year performance has become increasingly popular, and we've been struggling to accommodate everyone in Warrington Hall. To accommodate this, we will be holding two performances to hopefully avoid overpacking the Hall for our evening performance.
Morning Performance - 10.00 am
We encourage all grandparents and extended family members to attend this performance, which will include all of the classroom performances.
Evening Performance - 6.30 pm
The evening performance includes all of the classroom performances, prizegiving, and the Year 8 leavers' presentations. The children need to be at the hall by 6.15 pm, please.
Year 7/8 Surfing - Friday 12th December
We are surfing this Friday morning. Please let me know if you are available to supervise.
Next Week:
Christmas Night Market - Monday 15th December 5.00 pm - 7.00 pm
Leavers Poroporoaki / Farewell - Tuesday 16th December 2.00 pm
End of Year Written Reports
These will be emailed to families before school finishes up for the year next week.
Last Day of School for 2025 - Wednesday 17th December
Our last day of school for the year is Wednesday, 17th December. The school will be finishing at 12.30 pm. There will be no after-school care available on that day.
Kia pai te wiki - Have a great week!
