A message from our Tumuaki
On Friday, 11 August, Mairangi Bay School hosted our very first Matariki evening service for our school community. Matariki is a time for our tamariki (students), kaimahi (staff) and whānau (families) to come together to acknowledge the year gone by and make plans for the year ahead. Our Senior Kapa Haka (over 80 students from Years 5 and 6), led our service, recognising the importance of this special celebration.
Our tamariki, whānau, and community partners joined together, celebrating the Māori New Year, enjoying a free sausage sizzle, coffee and sharing stories together. It was the perfect evening to celebrate our kura as we “learn together to create a better tomorrow”, under the stars.
Music

Community Notices
Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand has asked that we share the following information with our school community.
This winter, between Monday 12 June and Saturday 30 September, participating community pharmacies in Auckland will provide a Minor Health Conditions Service for Māori and Pacific people, children aged under 14 years, and community service card holders.
The service allows pharmacists to have a clinical consultation and provide advice as well as medication if needed for a select set of minor health conditions no cost to the patient.
It also includes whānau members of a child with similar symptoms. For example, if the pharmacist determines your child needs treatment for scabies and they have older brothers or sisters, or you yourself also have symptoms, they may provide advice and medication for all of you.
The following health conditions are included in the Minor Health Conditions Service:
Acute diarrhoea
Dehydration
Eye inflammation and infections
Scabies
Headlice
Pain and fever
Eczema/Dermatitis
Minor skin infections
If your condition needs further support, the pharmacist can tell you the best place to go to get further help.
Let’s spread the word to our friends and whānau about this new service! It’s also important to remember that you can always speak to your local pharmacist for free health advice, even if you are not eligible for this service.
Participating pharmacies can be found by going to HealthPoint and searching “Minor Health Conditions”. You can also find a list here.
General Elections
Āwhinatia tō hapori kia whakaputaina ngā whakairo
Help your community have their say
The 2023 General Election will be held in October and we want every eligible New Zealander to enrol and vote.
Voting starts on Monday 2 October and finishes at 7 pm on election day, Saturday 14 October.
We’d like your help to get as many New Zealanders as possible to have their say. Let’s work together to make that happen.
You can help by sharing information with your community about enrolling and voting in this year’s General Election.
On our website vote.nz you’ll find information and links to resources you can download or order to share in a variety of ways – on social media, on your website, in newsletters or direct communications, or as display materials at your workplace, marae, library, or community centre to help spread the word to your friends, whānau and community.
Resources are available in different languages, te reo Māori dialects, and alternate formats. We’ll continue adding new resources to share as the election approaches.
We value your support in helping us make information about enrolling and voting available to your community and encouraging their participation in the 2023 General Election.
Enrol. Vote. Be Heard.
