150th Celebration Te Koromiko Swannanoa School 6 April 2023
It's finally happening! After two previous postponements...
Te Koromiko Swannanoa School is celebrating our 150th!
10:30am Thursday, 6 April 2023.
Although technically our '152nd', we were all keen to have a special event to commemorate the occasion as the last few years with COVID restrictions meant we missed many chances to gather as a community. If you have any connection to our wonderful school - whether currently or from many years ago, as staff, student, family, volunteer or in ANY WAY - we'd love to see you.
The main focus is to provide a free, fun and relaxed atmosphere, hear some wonderful stories from previous times, see all the old photos and offer the opportunity to tour the school to see what has changed over the years.
Please RSVP so we can adequately plan for catering. Register either by following this link forms.gle... visiting the school website www.swannanoa.school.nz..., or scanning the QR code attached.
On behalf of the 150th Committee, we look forward to bringing you a wonderful occasion and hope to see you all there!
Gill Slaughter,
Presiding Member
Te Koromiko Swannanoa School Board
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
