Yesterday some of our Year 5 & 6's participated in the Howie Tamati League Tournament. We came away with second place. Thanks Matua Brody and the parents that helped make it possible.
Information for anyone wishing to attend on Saturday.
Parking: there will be additional parking available at the back of the church on the field. Follow the church driveway around to the left.
If anyone would like to volunteer or help on the day please email the school: office@puketapu.school.nz
Last Wednesday 7 tamariki from Puketapu School participated in the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon
Unfortunately there was no swim so they did a beach run instead
Lexi Gorrie loved receiving her medal from a local Basketballer Aaron Bailey-Nowell
All of our students showed the school values and the tamariki that participated, hope to have more Puketapu kids join in the fun next year.
Happy Easter from these cool bunnies & Makaia
Enjoy your extra long weekend with whΔnau & loved ones
Thank you to The Lab for their donation of basketballs
We loved having Ben Carlile-Smith and Aled Jones come to our school for a lunchtime skills session on Friday

Meet Rocky
We've got some paws-itively awesome news to share with you!
Meet Rocky, Mrs Pascoe's dog.
Rocky is a handsome 2-year-old Huntaway cross, and he's not just your average pup β he's trained to therapy level standards!
Rocky will be making a special appearance once a week at school, to spread joy, comfort, and wagging tails!
Puketau whΔnau, if you see Rocky trotting around the school grounds, don't hesitate to stop by and say hi!
Rocky is trained to therapy level, which means he's an expert in providing love and support to everyone he meets. He's especially fond of cuddles, so feel free to give him a gentle pat or share a warm embrace.
Let's welcome Rocky, our furry friend, and make his weekly visits a highlight for everyone. Get ready for some tail-wagging, heartwarming moments!Β
We trust our Puketapu whΔnau had a wonderful Waitangi Day.
Whether you spent time with your whΔnau at home, explored the beauty of our land, or engaged in cultural activities, we hope your day was filled with aroha and connection.
