Covid-19 Alert Level 3 Step 2 Restrict Update 14 November 2021

                                                                                                               Kia ora koutou whanau

Manurewa East School will not open on Wednesday 17 November 2021 for tamariki. We will continue to provide distance learning. 
 
At present, we are working with the Ministry of Education to meet the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 requirements to be ‘safe to open’.  This ensures we are able to keep everyone as safe as possible to the very best of our ability.
 
Our teachers are in contact to collect information on your intentions for your tamariki for the rest of this term. If you have not been contacted, please share this information directly with your classroom teacher.  

This is vital for us to determine the maximum number of people possible onsite.

We will keep you informed as we progress.

Stay well and stay safe.

WE ARE MANUREWA EAST SCHOOL

At Manurewa East School, it is our strategic goal and vision to ensure we are truly bicultural and breathing life into Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The goal for all tamariki is to become bilingual and biliterate.  Alongside, we aim for our tamariki to become lifelong learners who will make positive contributions to our society.

 We operate a carefully planned programme based on the Dual Medium model, one of the multiple paths to bi literacy.  Our classes are run on the tuakana – teina model, each class contains åkonga from all year levels.

The motto of our kura is Whiti te rā, Rise and Shine.  Everyday our Tamaraki and kaimahi are expected to Whiti te rā, Rise and Shine and together, to reach great heights.

We pride ourselves in belonging to a vibrant place of learning where we are all learners together. Tamariki  who attend our school are expected to develop academically, socially and physically; always seeking ways to determine their own learning. Our students are given extensive opportunities to participate in EoTC, sporting and cultural events.

Our school provides the best quality teaching by dedicated professional staff, who are given ongoing professional development, to ensure they have the best support in their roles as possible.  Our kaiako care for our tamariki as if they were their own.   

At Manurewa East School we live by our vision, “we are confident, resilient and will reach great heights.”
