As we wrap up the last week of Term 3, it’s hard to believe we’re already on the home stretch toward the end of the year!
Next term, we’re excited to welcome our new Board of Trustees, who will begin their governance role at the start of Term 4. A big thank you to all those who have put their hands up to support our school in this important way – we’re looking forward to the journey ahead.
A few things to keep in mind over the holidays:
Carpark Construction
The reserve next to the school will be getting a much-anticipated makeover, with work on the new carpark starting on the first Monday of the holidays. This project is expected to take around six weeks.
If you're attending the holiday programme at Tui House, please park on the road during this time.
Contractors on Site
There will be some contractors working on the school grounds throughout the break, so if you’re visiting, please be mindful of work areas.
We wish all our tamariki and whānau a safe, restful break and we look forward to seeing everyone back, refreshed and ready for a fantastic Term 4!
Ngaa mihi nui, Michaela Phillips (Acting Principal)

WHAT IS AGRICULTURAL DAY?
Ag Day for those new to Matangi School is a great event to get involved in. Every year we invite students to raise a Calf, Lamb or Kid Goat, look after it, groom and train it ready for bringing to Ag Day. Students learn about caring for their animals, develop patience and determination, use initiative and self-reliance and gain a better understanding of animal welfare.
Rearing your own animal is a very special opportunity, and a very close bond can develop between animal and child. Our children learn valuable life skills through raising an animal and the Ag Day process, such as; caring, nurturing, animal health and welfare, responsibility, leadership, confidence, project presentation (through diaries and performance to the judges), patience and resilience (especially if it’s a wet day!).
- Attached is Calf, Lamb & Kid Goat rearing helpful information for how to prepare your animal for Ag Day
For more information please see the school office.
