Kia ora Waitākere Primary Whānau,

A big thank you to those wonderful parents who have volunteered to help out with the walking school bus, we couldn't do it without you!

We now just need a parent to volunteer on Fridays and another to volunteer for the first 4 weeks to cover one of our parents who is away. This will be for the Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Please get in touch if your child is year 4 or below and goes on the walking school bus regularly. It is just until 3.15pm and is a great way to get some exercise, as well as meet other parents from our school.

Contact Leigh on lmenzies@waitakereprimary.school.nz

Thank you!

Kia ora Waitakere Primary whānau,

Thank you to those wonderful parents and student leaders who are now going to support the walking school bus. We have lots of student leaders to support us each day, however we still desperately need two parents for Tuesdays and two for Thursdays. If your child is the junior school and walks on the bus, then we need your support to ensure the bus can run every day.  Please email lmenzies@waitakereprimary.school.nz so we can put you on the roster, which will begin term 2.

Ngā mihi

Kia ora e te whānau 

We are incredibly excited to announce that Waitakere Primary School will be hosting a Film Festival at the end of Term 2! To make this a truly "blockbuster" experience for our students, we are looking for members of our school community with movie-making expertise to help us behind the scenes.

Whether you are a professional, or just have a passion for the arts, we would love to hear from you. We are seeking help with:

Camera & Lighting
Sound Recording & Editing
Art Department & Set Design
Scriptwriting or Post-Production

If you have skills in these areas (or any other movie magic to share!), please get in touch. See the attached poster for the best person to get in contact with. 

We look forward to hearing from you! 

Ngā mihi,

Julie, Michaela, Razia, Ethan and Kristy (Film Festival team)
