Thank you to everyone who has contributed and participated in working towards our Kahui Ako Achievement Challenges over the 2020 school year.

We have achieved alot despite the disruptive year we have had. Below are a few reminders as we draw towards the end of the year.

I would like to extend the very best wishes to all staff, students and their whanau for a very Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.

Our Key Leadership Team (KLT) meet 2 - 3 times per term. This group oversee the running of the Kahui Ako and the Lead Principal provides updates, next steps planning, finances and how we are progressing with our Achievement Challenges. Currently the KLT Team consist of

Kim Waite - Lead Principal, Graham Sands and Kathryn Pick - Support Principals, Megan England, Jason Elder, Cam Stone and Seraya Hughes.

I would like to thank them on behalf of the Kahui Ako for the team they put into this important role.

Our Kahui Ako are really excited to be organising a combined powhiri at the beginning of the year for all our schools at Whakahurangi Marae. This will be a chance to welcome any new staff in our kura that have not already been welcomed onto the marae and to really lay the foundation for some genuine partnerships between our local iwi and all our kura in Te Kahui Ako o Taranaki Mohoao.

Can Principals please make sure that they have filed in the doc (link in 2021 PLD Overview) so we know exactly how many people will be in attendance.
