Meet Our Staff
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. We strive to create a calm, safe place to be. Our tamariki are fantastic: hardworking, resilient, motivated and enthusiastic problem solvers who are creative and artistic. They love to lend a helping hand, are incredibly kind and include everyone. They love a challenge and work to meet high expectations, they all strive to be successful, which looks different for everyone. Our staff are passionate, hardworking and have the tamariki at the center of all they do - we’re fortunate to have such a team!
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.
We’d love to have you visit us - call in and see how special our place is.

Kia ora,
The tamariki will bring home an envelope today with our SMS Student Profile Information currently on record. Can you please check this over, correct any changes and send back to school next week? Updating any Emergency Contacts and noting any medical information would be greatly appreciated!
If your child/ren travel by bus, you will also find a copy of the Code of Conduct which needs to be read over and signed. Please send this back to school in the envelope also.
Have a lovely weekend.
Ngā mihi,
Alice
Kia ora whānau,
Thanks for sending the bikes along to school!
Here is the information for Wānaka Challenge next week - I'll also send home a paper copy as there's a bit of light reading.
Any questions, just ask or if you can help with either of the jobs, we'd love it!
Thanks,
Alice
Kia ora,
