Final Call: Classroom Placements for 2027:
The process for organising classroom placements for ākonga in 2027 will begin at the end of this term. If whānau have a specific reason they would like the Leadership Team to consider when placing their tamariki in a class for 2027, please email the appropriate person below.
Please note that not all requests can be accommodated due to the complex nature of organising 17 classrooms. A wide range of factors are considered when creating balanced classes that best meet the needs of all ākonga.
The final date for submitting a classroom placement request is Thursday 24 September 2026 (Week 10, Term 3). Whānau can email:
# Year 1-4: Mrs Deborah Campbell (deborahc@sps.kiwi.nz)
# Year 5-8: Mr Jason Dombroski (jasond@sps.kiwi.nz).
