🥋 OCTOBER GRADING WEEKEND | LABOUR WEEKEND

He mihi mahana ki a koutou e te whānau,

Nau mai, haere mai ki tēnei pānui mō te October Grading Weekend over Labour Weekend.

Kua tukuna mai e Kyoshi Angelina ngā kōrero me te hotaka mō te mutunga wiki, ā, e tuku atu ana mātou i ēnei kōrero ki a koutou hei āwhina i te whakamahere a ngā whānau.

It is up to each whānau to decide whether this is an option for your tamaiti.

We also understand that some of our tamariki may have other commitments over Labour Weekend — kei te pai. We simply wanted to share the information we have received so whānau can plan ahead.
