Term 2 Distance Learning Begins
Principal video message on how to get started
We Miss & Appreciate you our Tainui Whānau
School Holiday dates have been brought forward; they are now 30 March to 14 April. At the end of the school holidays beginning Wednesday 15 April we will be open for distance learning but not physically open for staff or students to work at our school.
What this means is that today Tuesday 24 March here on this platform you can access your child's learning.
We are not expected to give your children home learning during the holidays.
Prior to the end of the holidays you will have access to the distance learning package.
We will also give you all the details of how the distance learning will work. This will not occur until just before the school holidays end so we can begin our school day on Wednesday 15 April. Keep an eye on our school facebook page and the school app. This will be how we communicate initially.
Please note that learning can happen anywhere, and in many ways. Learning does not just happen at school. You now have an opportunity to explore and try learning in different ways at home. We do not expect you to recreate the learning environment we have at school or set up a place for your child/ren to sit to do their work.
During the distance learning time after the school holidays we will be providing suggested activities and opportunities for you to do at home. We will not be sending home readers or sending home worksheets. The suggested activities may be online activities or encouraging you to play a game, make a cake, do the washing or going outside to do some physical activities etc. Learning can happen anywhere at any time. Embrace this opportunity with your awesome tamariki. Make it fun.
Thank you for your patience, understanding and kind words.

SCHOOL OF THE YEAR 2018
 Congratulations Patira Excellence Award Winner
Tainui Full Primary School Winners of the Outstanding Kiwi Can School Award.
The Excellence Awards are a chance for tamariki in the #KiwiCan programmes to be recognised for the contribution they are making to the programmes, themselves and the community. Each student is presented with a certificate, trophy and pounamu, blessed by kaumātua from Waikato Tainui, that will protect them as they continue on in their journey. It's a magical evening bringing together award winners, and their whānau. Patira Mahanga was one of the winners and we are so proud of him. Here you see Patira holding on to our school award. 
Thank you Stefan Nel from PL Bel Plastering Limited for sponsoring the award and presenting to us on the night.
Learning LanguagesOur Year 7 and 8 students are fortunate to learn and discover the language of Mandarin.
The students learn Mandarin two hours a week with our Mandarin Learning Assistant from the Victoria University Confucius Institute. It's amazing how quickly our students learn another language and because Te Reo Māori is a very integral part of who we are and is integrated through our curriculum; our students tend to embrace another language with eagerness and we believe it strengthens their own identity and culture. ENROLMENTS FOR YEAR 7 AND 8One of the Advantages of Being at a Full Primary
The Education Review Office found that transitions between schools ‘can disrupt students’ learning.’ Students face two transitions within a short period of time, to a middle/intermediate school and then to a secondary school. The advantage of a Full Primary school like ours means that your child leaves Tainui with the best primary education blended with the best of intermediate education and only one transition to high school. If you are interested in choosing Tainui for your Year 7 or 8 child then come along and enrol at our school. It is easy to enrol. We are available any time to show you around and tell you more about the opportunities we can provide for your child.
