Beginning of Year Learning Conversations

22 January 2022
​Kia ora and welcome back everyone, happy new year to you all. We hope you have had a relaxing and fun filled holiday and are ready for 2022 and all the adventures and learning that awaits.  
We begin the year with our annual Beginning of Year Learning Conversations where we are hoping to meet with every child and their family (even if you are returning to the same class). This gives us the opportunity to meet together as whānau, child and teacher to korero and reflect, setting our children up for the year ahead. 
To make a booking please go to: www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and enter our school code: d9kw5. Conversations will be 15 minutes, unless your child is a new entrant in The Nest whose conversations will be 20 minutes. Please leave one slot free between your bookings so you can make your way to the next class. Bookings can be made up until 12pm on Thursday 27 January. 

Leavers Ceremony

10 December 2021
Last night our Year 6 Leavers' Ceremony was held at Shirley Intermediate Hall. Awards were given for academic, music and sport achievement as well as for, citizenship, grit and our heart values. The evening was filled with celebration and a bit of sadness knowing that this wonderful bunch of Year 6 students were leaving Banks Ave.  We wish them the best for their intermediate journey!
