My apologies for the delay in posting a blog this year. Our internet issues have been horrendous since the 23rd of December and whilst they have improved it remains VERY slow and frustrating. If you have tried to contact us via email over the holidays or in the new school year and have not had a response please let us know. It may well be that your email bounced off into the ether.
The 23rd of December shakes have affected our roll numbers. We are about 10 children down on what we expected but remain in a strong position nonetheless. Our starting roll for 2012 is 283. In 2010 we started the year with 282, so, all things considered we have done pretty well. We have excellent new entrant enrolment numbers and look forward to our roll increasing as the year progresses.
Today we are sending home a family well-being survey so that we can get an idea of the assistance that our families need. As always we will do our best to support our whānau. It is our hope that the rest of New Zealand does not get the idea that almost a year on the battle and the hardships are over. They are certainly not and our families continue to need the support of the agencies, schools, businesses and individuals who were so generous in 2011.
Ngā mihi
John
