PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Simon Fuller

Tēnā koutou katoa I would like to thank all the sta , students and whānau who have contributed to an extremely successful year, despite the unpredictable challenges of a pandemic environment.

Covid-19 has created a new normal, adding complexity, di culty and pain to our lives. But like anything there are opportunities and good that have shone through in this unusual time.

Throughout the year there have been many memorable moments, including opening six brand new classrooms, seeing the building get under way on our new gym, gaining our rst-ever Showquest national title, watching our students embrace Inspire Time and seeing the increase in student participation across several of sports. I have also enjoyed seeing the way in which our students have ably adapted to a shifting environment; remaining focused and gaining huge personal achievements. We have a wonderful school lled with amazing people. As a college, we are lucky to be so well resourced, we are grateful for having a supportive community and we are mindful that we must keep doing what is best for each and every student. Kuranui is a special place. Good luck to our ‘Class of 2021’, we wish you all the very best for the future. “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”

Go well.
