On Monday 21st October, our local kaumatua Rangi Mclean blessed the new carving, created by Wikuki Kingi and his team at Pou Kapua Creations Trust. When you are next visiting the Homai Campus, please come and visit and explore this tactile mural. Huge thanks to The Trusts Community Foundation for a grant of $5000 towards this project!

To all parents and caregivers of children receiving services from HECC
Please consider standing for the BLENNZ Board of Trustees at the next elections being held on the 30th May 2013. Information should have been posted to you about this. Contact the returning officer, Janny Cooke 09 2667109 extension 2000 for more information. Trustees on the BLENNZ Board of Trustees are automatically members of the HECCET.
Alternatively, as a parent or caregiver of a child attending HECC we would like to encourage you to express your interest to be a parent/caregiver trustee position on the HECCET only. This is an exciting opportunity to be a member of the Trust which governs the only licensed early childhood centre in the country for children who are blind, deaf blind and low vision.
If you are interested in being a parent/caregiver representative for the HECCET or if you want to find out more about this role please contact Megan Walker, 09 266 ext 2102.
Information papers and a form for you to write your expression of interest will be posted to all parents by the Megan in Term 1 and ‘expressions of interest’ will close on 16th May.
Dec 12th: We had a party to celebrate the end of the school year and we welcomed the Christmas Elf, who distributed the children’s presents (Santa was just too busy today). We wish everyone a very happy and safe Christmas and New Year holiday season. See you all back the week of Feb 4th.
It was a busy morning. Ajay and Becky led a sing-a-long of all of our favourite Homai ECC songs/waiata. We shared kai and also planted some special trees in soil from the old Homai ECC building. These trees will form part of a nature trail in the new school playground.
