Open Day

Next week we have the school Open Day.  This is aimed at giving parents, community members and prospective parents of Tokoroa Intermediate an opportunity to view the school in action.  The main times are on Tuesday, 17th October, 1:15 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.  Naturally visitors will need to attend the afternoon session to see classes in progress.  On the Wednesday we will be giving Year 6 pupils from our main contributing schools an opportunity to view the displays and to visit classes.

Operetta

Thank you to the parents and family who supported the Operetta last term.  We think it was very successful and the children made a lot of personal growth.  We have received very positive feedback from contributing schools and the evening audiences.
