We welcome our community and families to visit our school during daylight hours and make the most of the fantastic play areas we have. We do recommend an adult to be with children at all times. By having community here enjoying the school grounds, it wards off those who may not do the right thing. We also ask our fantastic neighbours to please keep an eye on our school, and if you see or hear anything suspicious please contact the police immediately. If you need to contact us with a non urgent matter, please email office@waitakiri.school.nz. Thank you.
