Dear Parents and Caregivers,

This year marks a truly incredible milestone for our community—Coroglen School is turning 130! To celebrate our school's rich history and the many generations of learners who have passed through our gates, we are hosting a special Teddy Bears (and Favourite Toys) Picnic.

It’s going to be a day filled with nostalgia, laughter, and plenty of fun. Our teachers have been busy organising a range of "amazing" activities to keep the students (and their furry friends) entertained throughout the day.

 
The Details

When: Wednesday 20th May

The Picnic: Rice will be generously providing the picnic food for the event!

What to Bring: Please encourage your child to bring along their favourite teddy bear or soft toy to join in the festivities.

Participation: As with all our community events, involvement is completely optional. We want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy the celebration in whatever way suits them best.
We are so proud to reach this 130-year landmark with such a supportive community behind us. We can't wait to see a field full of toys and happy faces as we celebrate our school's big birthday!

Warm regards,

The Team at Coroglen School

Hi Parents and Caregivers,

Just a quick note that we have skateboarding school happening tomorrow, Thursday 14th May.

To ensure everyone stays safe and has a great time on the boards, please make sure your child wears covered-in shoes (like sneakers or trainers). 

We’re looking forward to a fun day of rolling!

Best regards,

Coroglen School

Kia ora Whānau,

Next Friday, 15th May, Coroglen School will be joining the movement to celebrate Pink Shirt Day!

Pink Shirt Day is all about working together to stop bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusion. It’s a day to show our students that speaking up and standing together makes our school a safer, happier place for everyone.

The Details:

When: Next Friday, 15th May.
What to wear: Any pink shirt or pink accessories! Whether it’s a bright neon tee, a pale pink polo, or even some pink socks, we encourage everyone to join in.
Cost: No donation is required—the main goal is to show our collective support for a bully-free Aotearoa.
Let’s turn Coroglen School into a sea of pink to show that we stand up against bullying and for each other.

Ngā mihi,

The Team at Coroglen School
