On Wednesday 8 February we held an Open Evening for our parents, caregivers, whanau and wider community to come in to firstly meet their child's teacher. It was also a chance for our visitors to have a look around our school and inside our classrooms. The tamariki were encouraged to show their whanau around and share with them what they were currently learning and/or had already learnt and done so far in the term.
This was a lovely evening and was great to develop new relationships especially with the parents of my new children.
It is my intention to continue to develop the home-school-parent-teacher-whanau relationships in order to support of our learners to achieve success. A personal goal of mine is to ensure I formally invite my learners' whanau members into class at least once a term in this informal way to share and celebrate the achievements of tamariki in Te Puawaitanga 11.
