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

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

Dear Whānau, Parents and Caregivers, We are doing a “HERO APP” sign up drive. WHAT IS HERO? Hero allows schools to build an online environment that reflects our unique context. It enables teachers, students, and families to view and share content anytime, anywhere on any device. The software is secure, easy to use and brings together all school-related information in one place. We are excited about the features that Hero has to offer families. We will be using a range of online features across 2026 onwards. You can: ● read whole school newsletters, notices and reminders ● read notices sent to the class or groups your child is part of ● coming soon - respond to school notices such as surveys and trip permission requests ● view school term dates, view a school calendar of events ● coming soon -notify the school if your child is absent or late ● customise your account by adding a profile image ● select how you wish to receive notifications To help whānau, parents & caregivers in getting the app and logging in we will be signing up during our Whakawhānaungatanga evening and across the first few weeks of 2026. You can scan the QR code on the notice below or one of the flyers around the school and follow the steps to sign up :) For more information about Hero, including how to log in, you can also go to Hero online. https://our-hero.com/ Any questions feel free to pop in and see us in the office.

Nau mai, hoki mai ki te kura. We love seeing all the smiling, excited faces kicking off day 1 of our 2026 school year. A warm welcome to all our students, staff, and whānau. Guided by our vision “Kia hokahoka kahurangi - Soaring high”, we look forward to supporting our tamariki to grow as confident, capable learners who strive for excellence - kia eke panuku.

Jambus is back in 2026! See the poster below if you'd like to sign up.

Ngā mihi nui for joining us at our open morning - it was lovely to see familiar faces and meet new ones. See you all on Tuesday as we begin 2026 together! Ehara taku toa i to toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini. Success is not the work of an individual but the work of many

Kia ora whānau, Our open morning is on tomorrow, from 9:00–10:00am. This is an opportunity for tamariki and whānau to reconnect with our school and meet their teacher before the new school year begins. We'd love to see you.
