Kia ora whānau, Due to low ticket sales so far this term, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the School Disco to Week 2 of Term 4. If your child has already brought in money and food, don't worry! Their name is on our list, and they will receive their ticket before the event next term. We will share updated details early in Term 4. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this change may cause. Ngā mihi, Whaea Cheri
