150th Celebration Te Koromiko Swannanoa School 6 April 2023

Gill from Swannanoa - Ohoka

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
