Nau mai, haere mai ki Te Kura
Welcome to Selwyn Ridge School

What a fantastic Friday morning to launch our first Celebration Hui of the year at our kura! 🌟 We proudly introduced some amazing new kaiako, welcomed back some familiar faces to our staff whānau, lifted the roof with beautiful waiata, and celebrated our tamariki who are already soaring high with their awards. 2026 is off to a powerful start – full of connection, pride, and possibility. Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tūohu koe, me he maunga teitei. Pursue excellence – should you stumble, let it be to a lofty mountain.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who came along to our whakawhanaungatanga evening tonight. It was wonderful to see such a great turnout and to spend time connecting as a school community. A special thank you to Mr Price, Mrs Healy, Mrs Handley, Mrs Smith and Mrs Wakelin for braving the heat outside and cooking the BBQ 🌭🔥 We are very grateful for your support and look forward to continuing to strengthen our whānau connections across the year.

Kia ora, Our first newsletter for the year. Enjoy.

Kia ora whānau, Welcome to Wiki 2! This morning we came together as a whole kura for our first Celebration Hui of the year. Mr Price proudly introduced our new Team Tūī. In 2026, we will have four teams across the school, with more information and new branding to be shared as it becomes available. Mr Price also shared some important reminders about why we come to school — to learn, grow, and do our very best — along with key messages about wearing hats outside during Term 1. We finished the hui by celebrating and acknowledging some of our amazing ākonga who are already soaring high through our SRP Bookmark Awards. 🌟 Me mahi tahi tātou mō te oranga o te katoa We should work together for the wellbeing of everyone
