All of the hubs in our school are named after native New Zealand birds and Parerā is the Māori word for our native Grey Duck. We are the first class in our hub. As the roll grows, we will welcome new teachers and children into our large collaborative teaching and learning space. Throughout the year we will also work closely with Pīwakawaka our other Year One hub. Please click on the 'Notices' tab above to find out information about our classroom programme, stationery, uniform and several other important items. I look forward to meeting you all in the near future. .
