Mission Statement

At Tarras School we strive to create a calm, safe place to be. We celebrate kanorau (diversity); accepting and respecting each other’s uniqueness and work to develop a sense of belonging. We create opportunities for all tamariki to learn and excel. We encourage all to show manira (curiosity) by asking questions, being excited and engaged and enjoying shared learning experiences. Our hapori (community) is active and supportive in our place; we are the hub and feel privileged to be so. We encourage whānau to be fully involved in life at Tarras. Whakauka (sustainability) guides us to ensure we are upholding and protecting our mana, kura and whenua.

Kia ora and Welcome to Tarras School. We’re delighted you have found our page and hope that it provides a little insight into our special place.


It is a privilege to work at Tarras School - we are in a speculator part of the country and we have a very generous and supportive whānau and wider community - we’re fortunate to have such great people around us.

Kia ora,
We're at the hall tomorrow for our dress rehearsal and we're hoping to be back at school for the afternoon for a swim!

Please remember gumboots tomorrow - everyone needs a pair please (but don't go and buy any).

I've attached the flyer for the play which was in previous newsletters - 1pm and a 6pm show - come to one or both, you'll be proud of them!

Thanks,

Alice

Kia ora,

It'd be great if you could please book in your meetings on the 'Bookings' section on the app.

 

This is a chance to share reports and celebrate your child's success and goals.

 

I know it's a busy time of year, so if you can't make it, please email and I'll send home the report.

 

Thanks!
