MONDAY 30 JANUARY - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

To all our amazing WPS Families

Today a special bulletin was sent to all schools across Auckland at 3.23pm.
“Earlier today the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) asked us to take action to help minimise traffic movement on Auckland roads while vital infrastructure is urgently repaired.
With the possibility of further weather damage leading to more disruption, the Secretary for Education has directed that schools, kura, early learning services and Tertiary institutions in the Auckland region (Wellsford to Pukekohe) must close for physical attendance and instruction until 7 Feb".

We will open for new enrolments only on Thursday 2nd of February and Friday 3rd of February from 9am to 1pm at the school office.
School will open for all children on Tuesday 7th February at 9am.
Please stay safe and we shall see you all next week.

Whaea Saane

Talofa lava and welcome back to 2023 to the best school in Weymouth.

I hope you have had a fabulous break and are ready to now get your children back to school every day to learn and achieve the successes they so deserve. 2022 was a challenging year, especially for me with the loss of my husband and once again I can't thank you all enough for your support.

We have so many exciting things happening for 2023. Our first school newsletter coming out on 2nd February has all the necessary information you need, including the dates and events happening throughout the entire year. Please pop this on your fridge as a reminder to save those dates.

This year we are trialling going 'paperless' and therefore our first school newsletter will be the only printed newsletter you receive this year. The rest will all be on our website for you to access and go back to at any time. We printed the first one so you could pop the dates on your fridge for future reference. Note this will also go on our website, in case you lose your paper with the dates.

Last year, we had some great gains in our student achievement data and hope to build on this in 2023. We need your help. Please send your child to school every day and on time so we can work together for their success.

We welcome some new staff members - Amie White in Room 10 and Nick Lloyd in Room 12. We welcome back Whaea Willi-Anne who will be doing 2 days release for our beginning teachers and Mrs Eagles who has gone from full-time to part-time teaching. We know they will have a fabulous time at our school.

We can't wait for our year to begin. We have worked hard to plan and prepare for your children and our families. We look forward to seeing you on the first day - Thursday 2 February. We encourage you to arrive after 8.30am, ready to start our school day at 8.50am. Our powhiri will be at 10.30am under the cloud so please come and join us.
