Haere mai e te whānau o Wēteri kura
Lockdown practice has finished
Update 8 March 2024
We have completed our lockdown exercise and all students, staff and persons on-site are safely accounted for. Everyone did extremely well and responded to instructions. A notice will be going out to parents/caregivers tonight to provide some more information about our emergency lockdown procedures.
Mrs Saunders and the SLT ran a great practice and we are very happy with our systems and processes.
I would like to personally thank you for your support while we conduct these practices. Kind regards – Lou Reddy, Principal
Kia ora e te whanau te kura tuatahi o Wēteri,
Firstly I want to welcome you to our kura and we hope that you enjoy our new school, as it was newly opened in 2023.
I have worked with the Wēteri community for 14 years, with a number of organisations and as well as being a former Deputy Principal of Wesley Intermediate School. I am originally from Fiji, but I grew up in Manurewa, Auckland from the age of 7.
Our school is a multicultural learning community situated in Mount Roskill and we are part of the Mt Albert Kahui Ako and also Ako Hiko Cluster of schools. We celebrate the diversity of the learners within our school and believe in building strong relationships/partnerships with whanau to enhance student success. Staff, students and whanau share our school's values by showing respect to each other - manaakitanga and being responsible for our environment - kaitiakitanga.
Our mission statement, Ki Te Marama – Towards Enlightenment is aspirational and aims to keep student’s dreams alive. We believe in creating a quality world where students are safe and happy, develop a positive attitude towards learning and experience success academically, physically, emotionally and socially.
Feel free to contact me if you need help with enrolments, pastoral care or just a friendly chat about what is happening at our school. My email is principal@wesleyprimary.school.nz or phone 09 620 9261 or mobile 021767661.
Vinaka vakalevu,
Lou Reddy
Tumuaki - Principal
