September Recap

 As another busy term and month draws to a close we have included a few elements of our programme activity and cluster events in the thumbnails below.

We are highlighting the Manaiakalani Opportunities for 2023 as these will need to be brought to teachers’ attention at the end of this week to be considered during the holidays.  Our successful applicants generally have spent time considering their proposals during the break and get final approval from their principal on return to school early term 4.  The final few spaces for the annual Wānanga are likely to fill in the next week, so check if you have secured your slot.
