Our Aspirations

2 Nov 2026

Kia ora Coroglen Whānau!

We have an action-packed day coming up on Friday, 6 November, featuring a local adventure and an opportunity to support a fantastic, life-saving cause.

Mercury Bay Museum Trip & Picnic We are incredibly excited to take the school down to the Mercury Bay Museum! During our visit, students will have the amazing opportunity to explore the Te Papa exhibition, Colossal Squid Ngu Tipua, alongside the 'Going Going Gone Oceans' exhibition, specially created in collaboration with the Department of Conservation and Waikato Regional Council.

All students will travel to the museum via the school van and staff cars. To make the day even more special, a delicious picnic lunch will be supplied for everyone at the park.

Please note the schedule and pick-up arrangements for the day:

Junior Session (12:30 PM – 1:30 PM): Please collect your children directly from the park after their session. A classroom teacher will be at the park to supervise.

Senior Session (2:00 PM – 3:00 PM): Seniors will also need to be collected from the park following the conclusion of their session.
Important Trip Notes:

Technology Students: You will be picked up by the school van from the Mercury Bay Area School bus bay at 1:30 PM and transported directly to the museum.

This trip is fully covered under our Blanket Permission, so no additional forms are required.
Booster Seats Needed: Our school van currently has 10 booster seats, but we need 5 more to safely transport everyone. If you have a spare booster seat we can borrow for the day, please let the office know as soon as possible!

Gumboot Up! Friday While we are out having fun, we are also standing together to support young Kiwis in need. Friday is Gumboot Up! day. Since 2019, this incredible initiative has delivered over 170,000 free, immediate therapy sessions to young New Zealanders.

We are passionately committed to helping them continue this crucial work. Please send your children to school wearing their best gumboots and bring a Gold Coin Donation. Your heartfelt support and generosity are deeply appreciated; it’s life-saving.

Thank you for helping us make this Friday both fun and meaningful!

Warm regards,

The Team at Coroglen School

Kia ora parents and caregivers of Room Two.

Due to the windy conditions on the water today, we have unfortunately had to cancel our glass bottom boat excursion for safety reasons.

We have rescheduled the trip for Thursday, 12th November (with a postponement date of Friday, 20th November).

Thank you so much for your understanding.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Kia ora koutou,

We want to reach out to clear up some confusion and speculation that has been circulating regarding a Halloween Costume Dress-up Day at school!

While we absolutely love the children's enthusiasm, in the haste of the excitement it is simply too short notice for us to properly organise and set this up for this Thursday, 29th October, or Friday, 30th October.

Because of this, there will unfortunately be no dress-up day at school this week.

We appreciate your understanding and hope everyone still has a fun, safe, and spooky Halloween weekend!

Ngā mihi,

The Team at Coroglen School
