Whanau Engagement

Enrol your Child, enrol your Whanau

Creating opportunities for whanau to connect with their child's school.

Engaging Parents

We believe helping Whanau to build a connection with their Child’s school is an important part of the child’s learning.

By holding different events – Whanau Fono/Talanoa, Komiti Tupu Mai (Parents Committee), Working Bees, Language Weeks and more, this enables a sense of community but also helps parents to understand how the school functions, who they can talk to and how they can be more involved in their child’s education.
