With so much happening across our College every day - from lunchtime clubs to sporting trials and cultural rehearsals—we want to ensure no student misses out on the action. The best way to stay informed is through our Daily Pānui, the "one-stop shop" for everything happening at the College.

The Pānui is more than just a list of notices; it’s your daily connection to the heartbeat of the school. Whether you are looking for a club to join, sports trials, or upcoming NCEA workshops, the Pānui has you covered.

How to Access the Pānui

We’ve made it easy for both students and parents to find information wherever they are:

• Student Inboxes: A copy is emailed directly to every student’s school email address every day.

• The School Website: You can find the latest updates on the top right hand corner of the homepage, or click here: waitakerecollege.school.nz.

• Tutor Class: The Pānui is shared and discussed during morning tutor sessions to help students plan their day.
  
  
  

What's Inside the Pānui

• Sports trials, competitions and opportunities 
• Te Reo Māori, Whakataukī  and words of the week
• Book of the week & library activities
• Fun activities happening around the school, like Karaoke Fridays, cultural events or market days
• School rules, expectations and information

Why It Matters

For students, checking the Pānui helps build independence and ensures they're prepared for the day ahead. For parents, it’s a fantastic way to engage with your child’s school life and help them stay organised.

We encourage all students to make "checking the Pānui" their first task of the morning. Don't let a great opportunity pass you by simply because you didn't see the notice!
