Keeping in Touch
Pukeko Hub has a blog that will be updated regularly with information about what we are learning.
Look out for photos and videos of what’s going on in the Hub. There will be a regular newsletter
which will be posted on the blog and also sent home in hard copy. We intend to start a notice board
for parents inside the Hub for important information and articles of interest. During Week Two,
Pukeko parents will be invited to an information evening. This will be an opportunity to share with
you more about the learning programmes we are running and respond to any questions you may
have. In addition, once underway, you will have the opportunity to visit the hub and see first-hand
what the children are doing and learning. More to come about this in a couple of weeks.
