Mrs Jones’s Shout Out

Kia ora koutou,

Our weeks are filled with incredible learning experiences and activities, and I am so proud of the continuous efforts we make to support our ākonga. At Mokoia, we are committed to providing what our students need to thrive, whether it’s purchasing fruit to be given out daily or running our breakfast club.

For a long time, we have been able to supply lunches to those in need, thanks to the generous donations and resources we’ve been able to source. Unfortunately, this support has come to an end this week, and we are no longer able to continue providing lunches on a regular basis. However, we will do our best to assist any student who needs kai when possible.

Over the last two terms, you’ve likely heard about our new progressions, which you will have seen firsthand in Hero. These progressions were carefully crafted by our acceleration team, who dedicated countless hours—often in their personal time—to align them with the New Zealand Curriculum. The result is a unified voice of learning that is clear and accessible to teachers, ākonga, and whānau alike. We are incredibly proud of this work and have already seen how our amazing teachers are using these tools in the classroom to help our students learn and grow.

Today, we were honoured to welcome the Minister of Education, Honourable Erica Stanford MP, along with her Senior Adviser, Emma Chatterton, the Director of Education for Bay of Plenty, Waiariki, Tui Rolleston and Ministry of Education Deputy Secretary for the central area, Jocelyn Mikaere It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the hard work and dedication of our students and staff. We were able to demonstrate that at Mokoia, we are passionate! We are limitless! We are Mokoia!

Thank you for your continued support with our AIMs fundraising and with Daffodil Day Mufti day for the Cancer Society. We raised an amazing $202.60
