Principals Final Message for 2022

December 12, 2022

The Junior Prizegiving was a magnificent way to finish off the 2022 academic year.  It was fantastic to see so many families attend and celebrate the success of their daughter and son that day.  

We have sent an email to all families whose child received a prize with a photograph taken on the day. Please contact janinel@mana.school.nz if you have not received this.

I would also like to acknowledge your ongoing support of our school, particularly given the year that has been.  When things are tough it is so important to be able to rely on the loyalty and care of our school community.

As the school year closes, the contractors and property staff have poured in (and as the photos below show) to begin the renovations for the gym, D Block and F Block, the pathway from school to Takapuwahia, and the demolition of B and C Block.  After 5 long years of negotiation and struggle we are finally getting a school we can all be proud of.
