Bairds Mainfreight Primary School

We can do it! ❤️💙

We are proud to share that BMPS has won the Papatoetoe–Ōtara Open Category in the local moth pod competition, collecting an amazing 10,015 moth pods!

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who contributed to this fantastic result- our whānau and community members who brought in moth pods, our tamariki who spent time collecting locally, our very own Mrs Shelley who dedicated many weekends to gathering pods, and Miss Bedford, who organised our school effort and, together with her whānau, also went moth pod hunting.

Let’s do it all again, next year!

We are proud to share this report celebrating the amazing mahi of our tamariki, who planted trees at a local farm as part of the Trees for Survival programme. Enjoy the photos and read about their fantastic contribution.

Another great week at BMPS!

We started with a group of tamariki going to plant trees for Trees for Survival, and finished with a very competitive staff vs. kids netball game and pyjama day.

Welcome to our new tamariki and whānau.

Congratulations to all of our certificate recipients.

We look forward to seeing all our whānau at the parent/kaiako catch-ups next week. If you haven't booked a time yet, please do so—we would love to share all about your children's amazing learning!

Another amazing week at BMPS!

Our students dove into learning about the water cycle with Watercare, while our talented netballers smashed it at the Ōtara sport cluster tournament—congratulations to our mixed team for placing second and our girls team for showing such awesome skill and attitude. A group of our students also got to watch the Tangaroa College School Choir Matinee. A huge thank you to Tangaroa College for the invitation and the wonderful experience!
