VERY SAD NEWS
FOR OUR NLS WHANAU


It is with great sadness to tell our school community that Miss Linda (ex-teacher of Matai 7) passed away early this morning. This is a very sad day for us all, as Miss Linda was a huge part of our school and the wider community. She was loved by all and only saw the good in everybody. She was a master teacher who taught thousands of children, helping them become successful contributors to their futures. Funeral details will be available shortly. Our thoughts are with her family at this very sad time.

Notice: 28  May 2023

***Important Date***

School Closed from 12.30pm on Wednesday


Instead of a strike there will be primary teacher paid union meetings on Wednesday 31 May from 12.30pm-3pm. This is so teachers can attend meetings to discuss the latest government offer together and consider what their next steps should be.


Please ensure your child/ren are picked up promptly at this time. 


What do teachers want?

Teachers believe that every student should receive the attention, time and support they need for their education. This isn’t always the case, and we are calling on the government to improve the working conditions for teachers, which affect children’s learning conditions. This means: 

• Better support 

• More staff 

• Recognition for the work we do


Thank you for your continued support of our hard working staff.
