Stand Tall

We have a vision that all our children will leave Little River School proud and confident in who they are. Confident because they have the academic skills to choose what they want to do, and confident in their relationships with people so they can adjust to any educational situation.

Little River School is a great place to be. We believe the children get an excellent grounding at our school which enables them to meet with success and develop skills needed for life long learning.

Transport list and info - Parihaka Day (tomorrow), Okains Bay

4 Nov 2026

Dear all

Please find attached the transport list ... finally!!

A reminder - if each family could bring kai / a plate of food to share please. It would be good if children could have sunblock applied before leaving home, but we will have some available throughout the day.

There is also a timetable for the day, but it could be subject to change.

Thanks

Thank you also to the families of Year 8's that have given us the heads up their child will be attending the LHS entrance test/fun day then.
