No Ngaere ahau,

Ko Tumuaki o Avon te kura,

Ko Lisa tōku ingoa.


What an awesome start to the year and I'd like to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome to Avon School. I'm enjoying getting to know all our tamariki. We enjoyed a whakatau on the first day to welcome all our new tamariki and on Monday 13th February held a whakatau to welcome our new whānau as well.


Sadly due to a major weather event across the motu, closing many schools it has interrupted our great start. 

We're really busy building relationships with our tamariki and getting to know their strengths and talents. 

We have a busy term ahead so please check out the What's On page to be up to date and I look forward to meeting you all as the term goes on.
