Tena tatau katoa e te whanau,

This is a panui letting everyone know that Whaea Poizhan's bus will be taking our Manu Kai Miro Kapahaka roopu down to Tauranga from Sunday onwards and returning Friday.  Whaea Emma-Jean will be the driver of the bus.  Whaea Poizhan will be utilizing the little bus to do her run from Tuesday onwards and Matua Rehua will be doing his own bus run as well as Whaea Heni on the van.

Just a reminder, there is no BUS RUN on MONDAY 3rd November.  All buses and vans will be utilised to take some of the Kura down to watch our Manu Kai Miro Kapahaka roopu on Monday which is the day of their performance.

We will have a skeleton of staff still at kura for those tamariki who are not attending the performance.
