New GIS Logo

Hi All

At our recent whole school Whanau/ Family/ Aiga/ Famili Night we chatted about three important changes that are happening for our school.  

1. The School Zone which is to be implemented from January 2022. Consultation with the MOE (not the school) starts in three weeks time. See our school website for new information as it becomes available.

2. The new school buildings which are being presented to the Board for sign-off with phase one complete by 2023.

3. Because we are rebuilding, we introduced the proposed new school logo for commentary.  If you would like to discuss any of these items, do call in at school and we'll find time to chat.

Have you remembered?

 Good Morning all

Tonight, 3 June at 5 pm, join us for a free sausage sizzle and child care as we meet at 5:30pm to chat about the two Ministry of Education decisions to affect us.
