Waituna West School and Community Survey 

Hi everyone,

We are seeking your input as we develop the Waituna West School Strategic Direction and Plan for 2027-2029. Schools do this every three years.

We feel strongly that all parents should be able to see their thoughts, interests and ideas visible for what and how we educate their children. 

The new National Education Learning Priorities set out the Government’s education priorities to ensure the success and wellbeing of all learners. Our goal is to seek your voice and combine that with these documents to design a strategic plan that is exciting, innovative and injects passion into teaching and learning at our school. It is the overarching document that guides us in reaching the optimal learning outcomes for every student.

We appreciate you taking the time to engage with us to make Waituna West School the best place it can be and ask that your thoughts and comments be constructive. Your responses will be anonymous.

The last day of the survey will be Friday 25 September.

Thank you

The Waituna West School Board of Trustees

Hi Everyone,
 
Our Fat Lamb Dinner is fast approaching, and the Hall Prep and Dinner teams have been working behind the scenes to get ready for this big event. 
 
On Friday 11th September, after assembly we will be setting up all the tables and chairs in the hall. If you have time to stay on after assembly and help with this job, we would really appreciate it. As an indication, it will take about 45- 60 minutes, to do this depending on how many people we have. 
 
Many thanks
Rebekah 
 
C&S Chair

There has been a Kia car key in the school mail box for the last few weeks, does anyone know who this belongs to or what it is there for?

 

If anyone has any clues will you please let me know so that I can get it back to its rightful owner!

 

Thank you so much.
