It is a privilege to be the Tumuaki/Principal of Taitā Central School. Our kura sits in the heart of Taitā and by building strong relationships,working in partnership with our local community and offering purposeful, real-world, authentic learning experiences through our rich classroom teaching and learning programmes, delivered by experienced staff, we are able to equip our ākonga/students with the knowledge and skills to be the best they can be. Taitā Central School provides an inclusive environment where our tamariki have a strong sense of belonging and where we focus on their academic, cultural, physical, social and emotional needs.
Our school has an open door policy, where we invite you to come and see our place in action anytime. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Good afternoon
Just a reminder our last day for Term 2 is tomorrow Friday 03 July, school finishes at the normal time of 3pm. Our first day of Term 3 is Monday 20 July.
The last day to order school photos is Monday 06 July to get free shipping to the school. We will hopefully have school photos back early in Term 3 to hand out to families. As soon as we get them back we will hand them out.
A few things happening in the community in the school holidays that may keep the kids entertained:
Walter Nash Centre are once again having their fantastic free school holiday programme running. Information on this is attached. You can just take the registration form in on the day you attend the activity.
Hutt Multicultural is hosting Multicultural Matariki Puanga in the Hutt on Sunday 19th July at 5pm at Walter Nash Stadium. The event will bring together ethnic communities from Lower Hutt and the wider Wellington region to acknowledge the Māori New Year with live performances, kai, storytelling and activities. We'd love for you to join us for this evening of manaakitanga, celebration and intercultural connection. We're encouraging everyone to bring a plate of kai to share. Please use this link to register your attendance, or email secretaryhmc1@gmail.com.
Stokes Valley Pool are holding a Matariki Pool Party Friday 10 July 12pm to 4pm. This will be a fun, family-friendly community event featuring free swimming, a free sausage sizzle, and a range of activities for children and families.
We hope everyone has a wonderful school holidays and we look forward to seeing everyone back in Term 3.
Kind regards
Erin

Kia ora e te whānau,
Our teachers would like to invite you to join us in the Whareroa/school Hall on Wednesday 10th June from 5pm - 7pm for an important Hui about Reporting to Parents.
You are welcome to bring your children and they will be looked after by some of our staff in Pohutukawa Block.
We will be opening the Hui with Karakia and our HuttFest Roopu performing items for the 2026 HuttFest later this term.
We will then share kai and whakawhanaungatanga before discussing 'What is important for you to know about your tamaiti/child and their learning?'
We will share the changes the government is making to Reporting to Parents expectations for 2026 and beyond and seek to answer your questions.
We will finish with our Spot Prize draw and Karakia at 7pm.
