Maraetai Beach School

What a week! We are bursting with pride for our amazing students who participated in sports camp over the last week. They didn't just bring home a huge collection of medals; they also showcased true sportsmanship, resilience, and high standards. Incredible work, team!

This couldn't have happened without our amazing community. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs Els for her tireless efforts in organising this epic opportunity. We are so grateful for your time, energy and care for our students.

We also want to give a big shoutout to our fantastic camp parents: Marc, Sonia, Nicci, and Rob. Thank you for supporting our students every step of the way!

Our annual Matariki Hāngī is coming up on Wednesday 1 July. Please place your hāngī orders through Kindo by Wednesday 24 June to ensure you don't miss out on this delicious cooked lunch.

Meal options are available for both children and adults, and we warmly invite whānau to join us at school at lunchtime to share this special meal with their children as we celebrate Matariki together.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and halal options are available.

PHASE 1 - Save the date for our Phase 1 Cross country next term!

This morning, some of our amazing Intermediate students are heading off on an exciting adventure to Sports Camp 2026!
We wish them all the best for the fun week ahead! Safe travels and good luck, team!

Thank you to all of the parents/caregivers who attended our Whānau Curriculum Information Evening on Thursday! We hope it was helpful and informative as we journey through the new curriculum together.

We will be sending out the presentation to families along with some further information regarding our new reports this week, ahead of your child's report arriving on Friday.

We are on this learning journey together, and we want to continue to stay connected and keep you fully informed every step of the way. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership!

What a fantastic turnout at our annual PTA disco last night! A huge thank you to our wonderful PTA and all the parent volunteers who worked so hard to make the event such a massive success.

A huge congratulations to our incredibly talented art extension students who participated in the Toi Wearable Arts competition last night!

We are extremely proud of their dedication and mahi in creating a stunning, Kiwiana-themed environmental piece. Their hard work paid off, earning them the "Creative Concept" award!
